Looks like an awesome starting point mate, I love that colour.

I would change out those rear lights asap tho, make the rear end look so tacky!

Yeah the colour was one of the reasons why i bought it, and there's no problem with the paintwork anywhere, not even a tiny scratch
But yeah, first on my to-do list is exhaust and new taillights, not sure which first.
Cheers for the opinion

nice car mate needs an ss kit and to get some better tail lights

 

[Seanyy]

Thanks Jonesy, im getting the stock ones and tinting them a few shades darker around the important parts, ive only seen it on one car and it looks wicked.
Or just keep them stock, not sure yet. But im f*#king the Altezzas off for sure one way or another haha.
Im leaning away from the SS kit too, i reckon it'll look like dog balls with my colour. Just a hunch

loving the green mate! ooh and sigs very niice

 

[Seanyy]

Cheers mate, im in love with the colour to be honest. Paint > girlfriend. Hahah joking.
Yeah the good old sigs.. Im keen on getting some different 19"s when i get the money though, the sigs are a little too common for me man.

 

[Jonesy484]

[Mick1988]

I loved this car.... until I saw the tail lights.... Would be a pearler if you replaced them with some standard ones
