Matte Black makes almost anything look amazing. Rear bumper is decent, whats the front look like? Get rear disks and paint the calipers, do not paint drums lol.


Looks awesome though OP

i think the painted drums look nice. the matte black, rear bumper, sideskirts, and lip arent really my style, but thumbs up and welcome!

I think it looks good, bumpers and side skirts are not my cup of tea. I think you should paint the drums black. The yellow calipers look good imo. Overall its a good looking ride. O get some 99-00 tail lights!!!

nice job tho! and welcome to the forum!
Hi guys,
thnx for the welcome! The interior is still stock and it's a manual. I see that my style isn't exactly your cup of tea, but in holland this is normal.
Seeing as everyone else paints their brakes red, I decided to go for yellow...
I've been looking for '99 taillights but they're so damned expensive over here.
Luckily I've got black headlight units though. With xenon.

Bye for now..
