i was just wandering what peoples thaughts were on my car, im wanting to change it so it will be more usefull when i put my incoming xe in
but i dont want to go the same way everyone else has if you know what i mean, i love gsi kits and stuff but just looking for a different twist.
id like to keep the arches too but would mean i had to modify anything i put on be it a gsi kit or whatever, i know its my car so do what i want but im really stuck here so any ideas/views would be great
cheers
alan
my car looks like this at the moment
the front and wheels are defo changing, oh and these are on for the winter

not usually a fan of kitted cars but that looks ace. Proper nice finish too.
Id keep it as it would be a shame to take it apart

cheers for the comments guys, makes me feel warm inside! lol
reason for changing the front- some twirp reversed into me and the brackets broke, since then its never really fit properly.
the wheels are 18"s and really arnt practical so i was thinking of some 7.5x16"s euro stylee??

i would remove the sunstrip and leave it IMO. work looks really well done!! altho if your putting a xe in, think about 5stud, then mayb some 18" VXR replica wheels. i think that would finish it off a treat!!!

hubs front a rear. you can get the conversion kits for the 2.0 16v conversion or you can simply just use 5stud cav/calibra hubs and run the big block cv joints

If you need a new front end and want to do something different, why dont you see if you could modify a rieger gtb bumper to match the arches?
