Hi,
A couple of shots of my beloved CC. Only had it a couple of weeks and began work on it straight away. Any hints or ideas appreciated.

Very nice cc, but the first thing your going to be told to do is change the rear lights, if you like them keep them but there not a popular moddification.
You could colour code your bumpers and rubstrips, that would make the whole thing blend in.
You might want to look at GT bumbers, Ive only seen one CC with GT bumpers and imo it looks really good.

Thanks for the input. Appreciate it. I was told the rear lights were on the car since new. Was an option at purchase apparently. What lights would you suggest that are different to standard? Any ideas?
Definitely want to colour code, will probably have that done along with a couple of stone chips just before the summer.
How low is the GT bumper? Speed bumps are more popular than cats eyes in this neck of the woods.
Thanks xx

Thank you. X
I like the colour too, that's what edged me towards this car in the first place. In all honesty I quite like the arches, but each to their own and all that. but colour coding is definitely on the cards.
Thanks for all the comments, I take everything on board.

Just leave it as it is but bin those front and rear lights, they are very 2002. Not good.

What do people think of clear angel eyes for the front? And then LED for the rear?

Angels output isn't as good as the current headlights you have if they are genuine morrettes,could swap them for crystal headlights and get bit extra cash from the morrettes, LED rears be nice.

Like the rears I think they were on from new as an option. Is there no way of making angel eyes brighter?

No Angels are just plain terrible in terms of output unless you can get ones made by ultra which are suppose to be better,but not worth it definitely try get yourself crystals over angels or keep your current ones.

Ok, thanks. Won't bother with angels then, is rather be safer at night than look good. What's a good price for crystals? And where? Sorry to be a pain?
