Looked really good before you did the wheels, the wrap and those roof strips. Kind of like a 5dr 180.
Now it just looks a bit chavvy.

I agree Ali. Think the wrapping was one step too far. As long as your happy thats all that matters though.

Agree with this totally.
But as you say you like it and that's ultimately what matters.

Not sure if I like it or not. It's got a lot going on and I would say stick with two colours not three. I just don't like red and white though so that's proberly affecting how I see it.
Maybe you will throw up in your mouth in a years time like you did with the chrome

The plastic roof strips were faded and absorbed wax from
when I'd wax the roof and looked terrible. If you saw it in person you'd like it, sometimes pictures just do not justify.
But tbh if you don't like it; it is not my problem

I assume you mean the brake light on top of the rear window? It's fairly simple, open the boot door and there will be two long bolts, undo the nuts and then place a spanner flat against the end of the bolts and lightly tap the spanner with a hammer on each bolt and slowly tap it out eventually pushing those two bolts through to the other side and the light will just fall out. Then just disconnect the windscreen washer hose and power supply. (1st time doing this will be difficult due factory fittings)

Oh haha, I found some red ones that were the same design and swapped them over. There are ways which you can split the plastic on the lenses that involve the oven. I couldn't be asked to try
