Nice ride Jess, you should spray the mirrors the same colour as the car, and get some new head lights, has it got any non cosmetic mods like an exhaust sytem?

What headlights would you guys suggest? I havent really thought about them. I dont think I will change the mirrors just yet, I like the black because it blends with the wheels but I might change my mind in the future :)
It does have some sort of exhaust system, though not as loud as I would like. No other non-cosmetic mods at the moment, I would have like them but I fell in love with the car before I even seen the price and when I found out he only wanted $3500 it sealed the deal. I expected a few mechanical issues for that price but it has run like a dream. He even put a new battery in after we agreed on the price (found the dated receipt in the car and battery is new) and diddnt charge extra for it. I want to work on it a bit more and would LOVE a sound system but have to wait until I finish uni. Even when I buy back my beloved Alfa 156, Im keeping this car and get it perfect. I think I agree though, headlights first.....

Nice car. Just use a cut and polish for your lights, will clean them right up. The only other exteral mod i would do is clear side indicators.
