Not keen on 5 door hatchbacks, but you've improved the looks of it.

I can only see a new sticker and set of wheels, maybe a *tad* lower?
Have you thought about smoking the headlights/ would complement the wheels rather well imho..

Love it, looks so much better than standard.
Doesn't need anything else done to the outside imo.

perosanlly i would colourcode the door handles, seem to stick out like a sore thumb, but looks very nice otherwise

strangely i like the black door handles and rubstrips as it contonues the black theme and braks it up a bit.
i have played with the idea of removing the bumpstrips though

Sits well Looks good.
Also like the handles, but without the rubstrips they would look bit out of place.

no iv never noticed in real life only in the pics, painted plastic reflects light slightly differently than metal, you see it on a lot of cars in photos, especially silver

if it was a black car then yes i would have done that by now, but on silver i think it just serves to make the grill look even bigger
not my car

Would body colour be too much?
