Great base to get what you want and the best colour, flame red!
get rid of the stripe the ls badges and get a spoiler and back panel on it, lower it and it will be perfect.

I do like the red ones when they are polished. I am so used to seeing pink ones about. And when you see a red one its like Wow!

As per the wanted ad, there's 2 spoilers I like on cav hatches... The SRi boot lip spoiler and the irmscher raised item. Irmscher do a second option, a wrap around effort, but I think it looks awful.

To be honest mate for a 'K' plate and in red she looks really clean and the paint looks great. Usually they are faded to bu*gery. Those pipes are really neat. Noticable, but not over the top.
