Rule number 1 of RR, everything has potential. Personally, I'd lower, some nice wheels, subtle details, done. This one looks like a clean example. That said if you're feeling particularily nutty you could try something like I did on this Mondeo photoshop  |

 Minus the stickers. Get a stance and wheel combo like this and you're winning. |

 ColonelK's derv is one of the best "simple" looks wise i've seen. I want to see the black and green ones in the back of this pic closeup they caught my eye as I was scrolling through the vboa thread.  Matt |

Tint the indicators orange and make the bodywork and bumpers below the bumpstrip bumper grey to match the other plastics. Add some 90s alloy wheels, preferably a good slabby Vauxhall or solid 5 spoke, and you should be on to a winner.

Could lend itself well to a bit of SuperTouring inspiration... This boyo has the right idea, but not low enough!  |

What about 'Edwardian look', i've heard that is gonna be big this year. Jack it up and replace the wheels with 24" wooden spoked jobs. Then get a couple of life-size fibreglass horses and fasten them to the front using a metal structure designed to look like the horses are pulling the car with a harness. (Obv you need the car to still drive itself, the horses are just for effect). hang a couple of paraffin lamps off th C-pillars and get your lass to wear a mega tight corset/massive dress combo and sit in the back. You sit in the front and wear a top hat + tails.

Thanks matt.
Just remember that the GSi rear bumper doesn't fit a hatchback (although can be modified to fit if you're handy with fibreglass (can't remember if it needs lengthening or shortening) that's if you want to go down that route.

Matt black it? + lowering.
Easy and cheap to do and makes it different from the others.
Other thing you could do is smash one of the rear windows and stick some opaque bin bag gaffer taped around the door frame to replace the glass temporarily, one or two missing wheel trims, maybe a scratch or a dent, coat-hanger aerial, mud on the tyre-walls... basically just make it look like a real proper shitter.
Or, last option is to nitrous it.

I had a 1.6 Classic saloon when I was like 18, ended up with a full GSI bodykit, Turbo leather interior, TSW Stealths (remember them?) and a 40mm drop, slower than a 1.1 Fiesta my mate had but it looked awesome! Then I lent it to said mate who within TWENTY MINUTES of setting off had rolled it off a roundabout  Moral of the story: When a mate says "'course I'll be careful!", don't believe them. EVER. |

Do not Matt black the paintwork.
Do lower it.
Do not be tempted by the Edwardian look.
Do whack on some bbs splitties and go for the euro look as seen in some of the above photos.
Amen

  Clean and simple is the way  That's the sort of look I'd be aiming for. As stated "clean and simple" plus it remains nice and practical too. Personally I always prefer to see a really clean car - you've already done a great job cleaning the engine bay up, why not continue right round the car getting everything as clean as possible? If you're on a budget, all it'd need then is some Vauxhall alloys and a lowered supension kit and you're on to a winner. |
