This is how it looks today, less the hardtop, quite a few stickers, the rear wing and with the oem mirrors back on.





It's grown on me a bit and although the rest of the stickers are coming off, I reckon I could live with the front and skirts (c-west apparently). Somehow it seems the big mirrors lessen the impact of that nose.

However, I have an oem nose, and I'm certain the remainder of the bodykit wouldn't go with that.

Current plan is to lose the bodykit entirely, replace the nose with an original, plus lip and maybe a similarly discreet lip on the back. Leave the wheels and suspension as is.

Any thoughts or insights before I finally attack the bodykit and spend any money?

 

That bodykit is hideous Pete

Far better to rip off some chav by giving it a silly name and charging

 

The wheels look good, I think you could stand to lose the bodykit though.

 

have you finished!

the power of delete.......

Editted into one easy to read post

 

Actually looks better now!

You're right lose the stickers and body kit.
Keep the alloys - nice car then!

 

Can't say the bodykit does much for me - but it doesn't look as bad as a lot of others posted up on here. If you find a buyer for it, I'd get rid of it.

The one thing that lets the 99-03 down IMO is the rims - they look too weedy. For that reason, I think I'd be tempted to keep the aftermarket rims.

 

that's a definite - unless someone makes me an offer I can't refuse......

they are as new, as are the tyres

you don't see immaculate oem wheels cheap

even knackered ones go for about

 

the side skirts are too busy for my taste. Too many angles and lines in them. What are you thinking of doing with them?
