I'd just get it looking like new again mate, more impressive than mods IMO, and it doesn't need them anyway, it's great to drive.

That's all happening as soon as I get the chance man. Full detail, respray centre console, refurb wheels, maybe get a double din. Stuff like that is all higher priority than mods. I have the N+ coilies sitting, worth putting them on and getting a proper geo. Anything else will be cosmetic etc :salut:

[Mr Anderson]

Aye sounds good, the ride is a bit solid with the springs on it just now

[bluntcap]

Looking good Dean......maybe an OEM front grill I'm just not a fan of the mugen grills. But I love you JDM dude.....you JDM whore

:thumbup:

It's actually fine for me, a bit solid, but I like it like that

The Mugen grille, me and Nicky are the same. We like it one day, then hate it the next! It's annoying. It's not the best fit, although it fits better than the majority I see, especially with it being a genuine it fits much better than the Seibon jobbies.

I remember when Nicky put the thread up of the car when she got it, I said the same to her and she said the same as you liked ti one day and hated it the next.

He had the cheek to question if they would make the car handle worse than it does at present

Looking good, will look better once you get the volks

[trancem]

looks good mate :thumbup:

[sn:afu]

I've seen this car somewhere before

Looks good mate, and you'll be really impressed with the Buddyclubs when you get them on :thumbup:

Oh and now my thread has more views than yours :badrazz:

[OZ 82]

Very nice, cant beat a JDM ctr. I think standard grill would look better, but thats just my opinion :salut:
