I have a few ideas floating around like:....
Colourcoding
Lowering (Coilovers, springs, kits / 35mm, 40mm, 60mm argh!)
Changing wheels to black
Getting Black/Tinted Side Repeaters
MK2PH2 Rear Lights
MK2PH2 172 Rear Bumper :rasp:
Custom SS Cat Back
Sports Cat
172 Interior

Depends on your budget?

If you can afford to spend s**t loads then get the best of everything - coilovers etc..

if however your working to a budget then get things which will do the job adequately, or just save up loads LoL

 

[mk1_Gaz]

Looks sweet mate, deffinately a good idea to scrap the lights and 16v badge. As you say, lowering kit, cat back etc is a good starting point. Dark smoke window tints would look awesome.

colour coding and coilovers for 700 quid

 

[Matta_88]

Would i be able to get coding and coilys for 700? i heard proper fitting was velly expensive lol i also like the idea of the 172 rear bumper and skirts lol :S hmm

 

[Middo]

dont go for 172 bumper and skirts, just get colour coding it'd look just as good. coilys 425 from www.2modified.com, colour coding about 200 quid, fitting about 75 quid, then you'll need to get it tracked which is prob gonna cost another 75 quid, so a bit over maybe lol

 

[Matta_88]

Yh i knew coily fitting was big moneys grr lol feck, the best colour coding quote i have so far is £300! where u get it done for £200?

 

[Middo]

depends on where you go and where you live. I'm up north so i've had quotes ranging from 150 upwards. However i always ask the question, how many coats fo paint do you use, if they give u a specific number they're s**t

 

[Adam]

yeah slam it
