First of all I don't want any aftermarket tat, want to keep it as OEM and "out of the factory" looking as I can. Already have genuine Hella angels and rear Celis.



Alloys, 18 inches, less than £500 with tyres new or used it doesn't matter.



Boot lip spoiler fitted and painted



Possibly sports back and front bumper, not sure yet.



Is the above possible for around £1200? Before anyone asks I have already decided this car is a keeper after spending a lot of money keeping it on the road, I don't mind spending money on it cosmetically.

You'll want a set of Style 37's if you get the Sport bumpers, or perhaps some Style 32's if you stay with SE stuff.

37's are between £300 and £1000 depending on tyres and condition. Mint with a set of brand new Pilot Sport 2's on it, and you are looking at £1000. Shabby with barely legal Wan Li's and you are talking £300-400. Decent condition with part worn reasonable tyres, somewhere in the middle.

£100-£150.

£600ish to supply, probably just under a grand supplied fitted and painted?
