Cool. Looked at the first pic and thought "What a Project". Made a Decent Start, Hope you're going for small rims.

Looks much better from when you started. Just out of interest, What did you lower on? Springs? Springs/Shocks?

When I first lowered my Corsa, I used Nova Springs. Brought it down about 50mm.

Well basically keeping it subtle, next on the list is the 15inch Tigra alloys, then after that a nice Peco Exhaust, maybe slight smoke tints and basically keeping it clean.

Also plan on getting the facelift bumpers for it in the near future.

Tigra rims - yes
Peco - no
Tints - perhaps but keep it legal
Facelift - personally I don't think they're 100% necessary I would concentrate on seats/trim/steering wheel/clocks etc. before doing more body mods.

Having your speakers on display is just asking for trouble...

But apart from that, providing you dont go for Peco, you're doing ok Welcome to the site.

There are much better quality exhausts around than peco... they've been around for quite a while bu quality isn't great.

Just shop around, the thing to remember is that you get what you pay for, especially when modifying your car, so if you pay peanuts, you'll get rubbish. Better to fork out a bit more when you can afford it and get something that'll be better in the long run.

Makes a difference to paint the wheels Looks so much tidier.

IMO the Post 97 bumpers do make a massive difference. They're smaller.
