It's about time I start styling my admiral blue mk 1 1.1
My thought are:

-remove dents in rear wing (explained in my old post "bad drivers + car parks")
- spray steelies admiral blue and wheel covers black (only until I can afford alloys)
- tint windows black
- spray all badges gloss black
-add mk2 spoiler in gloss black
-add mirror caps in admiral blue

Thought on how this will look?
Any other suggestions?

I think it will probably look cheap and tacky.

Colour coded mirror caps are an improvement, same with removing any dents. Everything else will look cack.

i dont get why you want to spray the steels blue and the covers black? surely you wont be able to see the blue steels behind the black covers? (unless you have some aftermarket covers which show more of the wheel) with price of paint you could buy some vtr alloys, people struggle to sell them for £40 nowadays

However with the above post removing dents, mirror caps, spraying badges black, vt spoiler will look good

flat arches can look very smart with a simple cheap mods

if your interested i have a mk2 spoiler for sale

They are aftermarket covers but I had no idea that vtr alloys were so cheap so I might look around for some.

What colour is the spoiler and how much would you want for it?

and yea vtr alloys are stupidly cheap, usually go for more on ebay and scrappies, but go for pennies on here

Dont go over the top with it. I know its a 1.1 and you want it to stand out because its not fast.
Iv been there with my old 1.0 I spen near on 2 grand on shit mods and then crashed it Anyway. Your best off staying subtle and save up for a vtr ot something better
