Will get it debadged as soon as it gets to me, and i was thinking of a blue and white colour scheme but i can't really think of anything that i can colour code properley
also i have got £200 as soon as i get the car for mods..
then i will have to wait a month for another £700 to spend
so was wondering what can make the car exterior look really good for a budget of £200
Tom can get me a gti spoiler for £50 so was thinking about that.
any other ideas?

errrm with the initial 200 i would try and get hold of some front and back sport bumpers that are colour coded, either off ebay or from your local scrap yard. This will instantly give your car a more modern look.
then with the 700 get some alloys and possibly get it lowered

If you look round you can get both bumpers for about £80 then you can get a nice set of nims with the other £120 and thats a solid start!
Then with the £700 perhaps look at lowering it, gti wings, lights etc. Just a few ideas....

I dint really want to go down the bumpers route as i was going for the euro look + it would be extremely hard to find front and back sports bumpers both jazz blue and in decent condition for £80, if it was possible i would but i dont know anyone that could get theese...
