    Hm,
    Lose the mudflaps,
    Lose the Towbar (unless your going to be towing - Then give the ball a polish or get a polished ball if its not.. )
    New Exhaust + Tip, Or just a tip
    Clear Side Indicators
    Do something about the garnish + Lights - Looks horrible..
    Color matching Mirrors?
    Lowered + Mags
    Paint job

    Looks like its had a rough life. :O

    Lose the altezza lights. Put standard VT ones back in. Altezza lights look horrible in any situation, even worse when you still have a VT garnish. Are you sure it's quicksilver and not Orion? Pretty sure I have door handles and a fuel cap in Orion if it is. Got some handles in Quicksilver too.

    yea it is a straight swap over, you'll just need to rewire your looms which im assuming youve already done. id prefer to do the swap if it was my car or get a vx plain garnish as you can still seee the outline of the vt garnish and sometime you can still see the outline of the lights as well. but most people i know just paint it as it is more cost effective and sometimes doesnt turn out to bad

    i agree with the altezza lights, i think it would be orion as quicksilver didnt come out til the VZ's im pretty sure

    why do you need the boot lid whats wrong with just the garnish, the problem with getting a new boot lid is that it may not fit right
