I like the carbon wrap, I would do something to the grill now. Maybe black chevrons to go with the dark front end.

Morrettes give a really aggressive look on the front love it :)

Never been a massive fan of them but been seeing a few lately that work well with the car and are growing on me!

You need a kit mate, which includes 2 ballasts (transformers), Lives, Earths, Connectors, Fuse the Lot. Theyre Reasonable Value and very easy to fit. When i did mine i just watched a tutiorial on youtube.

Got it on ebay its the one which the photo is advertising a 2 year warranty around the £50-60 mark although i know for a fact you can get them cheaper and there is a group buy on the for sale section on here for £40. Ive already claimed on my warranty so i know it definately works. :)

I ove morettes on most cars but all to their own.
Carbon wrapping chevrons and mirror caps and i think that'll probley be all as i want to save for something abit more JAP.

My Hid's melted the glue on the carbon wrap and water got inside them so i had to take it off any paint them :(. Still looks okay though.
