yeah bigger amp is a must as long as the sub can handle it, aim for the nominal poer rather than the maximum, as it will sound better/clearer get some smoke spray from halfords or similar and have a go yourself, if you get it wrong then get some paint thinners on it fairly quick and should be able to start again as Dave says, lower it about 40mm and it should look fairly spot on. Looks a tidy car which is always a good base!

SLAM IT ON ITS F*CKING ASS drop it as far as possible, take the lexus lights off place them on the ground and ask a real fat woman to roll on them (im not talking size 26 as fat im talking like size 36), bigger alloys (15's are ok to start with though) please dont get the M3 style mirrors as they are chav tastic, if your into loud music then yes get a bigger amp, but if not then ditch the whole system and strip the car out.
but your next mod should be a engine conversion from a fiat coupe, but good job so far (apart from the rear lights)

Crikey Nick you waffler! haha Its a nice little start you have made yourself there deftone considering you are new to the car scene - style is very much about your own definition of what you think makes a nice car - i agree with the majority of people onthe lexus lights - they really ought to go! even lexus dont use them anymore! I think a suttle little body kit would be nice for you - there quite easy to fit and get a colour match because its a standard paint jobby - and there nothing like a suttle little spoiler too! If it was me i'd fit a body kit and have it all resprayed in a nice colour - nothing over complicated and personally i think pearlescent paint is vile! But it would give it that appeal if you made it stand out with an interesting paint jon - i have a few contacta if you want anything like that doing feel free to drop me a PM Did i say nick waffled

Thanks for the comments guys & girls might be going back to the standard rear lights and getting them smoked out. Then i think i will colour code everything i.e bumper strips and as for car styling pretty much used my eyes and imagination for my car. And i certainly will PM you chick if i need anything liek that doing. The project continues at a slow pace lol

Slowly but surely! Its the way forward Heres an example of one i think looks cool - you find all sorts of inspiration on the net - dont be afraid to borrow peoples ideas too = saying that some little plonka in coalville stole all my ideas for the crx when i posted them on a local jap car forum! ahaahaa

looks like a nice little runner that does, i was thinking about getting a mk2 punto but then i decided against it and got a pug 206 lol.
my brother used to have a punto... was really nice, he had pearl accent paint work in navy blue and glitter.... body kit, the lot, spent thousands on it. il try find some pictures up, to give you a few ideas if you like

Colour coded is always a winner - but dont feel like you have to hang on to the green paint job
