Love the look of the car.
Perhaps consider getting black masked headlights to go with your look? |
White wheels black headlights?
His look is fresh, oem+
If he had black wheels and black LED's I'd agree LOL.
Liam cars looking nice mate, how are those coilies holding up? |
The standard headlights just don't fit now. Looks chrome and we all know chrome is a NO! I wouldn't go for angels, DRL or Morette as it will take away from the OEM + image. Masked headlights still make use of the standard headlight design (just black in parts) so you still got the OEM + image. It will give some nice depth to the front of the car.
Perhaps if you ask nicely there might be someone in your area with masked headlights. Perhaps they can swop one for a few minutes and see if the look works with your car. Otherwise just use photoshop

Your opinion though mate & I disagree.
White wheels, almost OEM rear lights... black masked headlights?
I like the stock headlights, the only thing I dislike about this car are the SP grilles, I hate them on my car too.
If he had dark wheels, & maybe darker after market rears sure.
Fresh - 'OEM+' to me
Light alloys, silver, white , light anthracite
Stock rear lights or, red with crystal look
stock headlights, or gay angels.
Stock grilles or SP silver
Modified 'Smoked'
Darker anthracite or black wheels
Morrettes, masked crystals, smoked gay angels
After market rears black LED's ect
Zunsport or stock grilles
& that's my opinion.

It would look good bar gay carbon wrapping.
Problem is it will chip to f*** and look tatty. If you're doing the SP grill & Splitter defo get it done professionally so they are more durable.
I did a PS of the cupra R splitter CC'd on my car a while back it looks good so the gun metal one will look good.
