5s dont have to look "chav" just because theyre not standard!
I just had the bumpers smoothed (recesses filled), full respray in Rover Storm Grey, GT Tuning spoiler, Renault 19 Vent, Bad boy bonnet etc - all was cool at the time trust me lol!
Nothing was really "stuck on the car" except the spoiler, i dont like the huge kits that K-Tec and Carisma have produced over the years, but i think the cars can look much better with a few nice body mods etc.
The spec of the engine was mental - everything had been done except N20,
Would definitely own another one, maybe only push it to 160 bhp as i know they can be reliable like this, but much more and things start to break no matter how much you think theyre strengthened, as i found out!
Err... I wasnt specifically talking about yours mate, I quite like your old one...
Just that I personally dont go in for doing much in the way of visual changes on any of my cars though, I prefer subtle styling changes if anything.
Like another of my old cars, my 106 GTi >>>

No major changes, just Morettes, white Speedlines, clear repeaters, different badges and very slightly lowered , but looks spot on!
actually it looks totally s*** to be honest!
