Bought it on Tuesday, it's on an 02 plate with just under 63k on the clock and lowered by 40mm.

Will upload some pics as soon as I can, it's at my cusins on her drive at the mo because I can't tax it until I get my cover note, hopfully Saturday, possibly Tuesday :wall:

First there is a few things I need to rectify before starting...

It has an indicator problem (when I indicate left it automaticly stops immidiately, sometimes it doesn't but clicks really fast instead) so think I need a new stalk for it, or possibly switch behind the airbag.

Secondly the car currently has no fog lights fitted for some reason (possibly causing the indicator problem??) although it does have the bumper with the cut outs for the fogs and appears to have the wiring ready to plug some fogs in.

The things I would like to change are...

Currently it has some gordy looking lexus lights on the back with no reflectors (tape on boot instead) so I would like to put some smoked jewels on the back, I'd prefer self tinted standards but they aren't legal are they?

It also has a de-badged chrome grill with a hole in the mesh which looks a bit chavvy imo plus it doesn't really go with the silver on the top half of the car, I'm planning on getting a standard grill with badge and converting it from slats to mesh with a graphite surround, black mesh and a silver (not chrome) badge.

Also has a chrome bee sting, going to get a black one instead.

Possibly limo black tints in the back.

Somebody has painted the vents and centre dash silver but it looks like it is wearing off so may have to respray them but may go black.

They have also painted the glove box door silver :n: but again this is also fading so I may need a new glove box door.

What do you guys think, any other suggestions?

Plans sound good, also, give your insurance company a call, they can email you proof of insurance, and then you can print it and tax it :y:
