Wow that looks show room fresh! de-badge/satin black badges? remove rear wiper?
|

get the wiper in the proper position roofrack (still a stickler for them!) lose the wing mirrors a performance backbox across the bottom of the rear panel? clear indicator lenses, and relocate the sidelights to there, and indictators where the sidelights go ala beetle style

that looks fantastic! I love it! As for what next, flat rear wash wipe, remove door moulding plastic thing, clear indicator lenses, some of those cool high techy head lights.

Wheel spacers, mo' lowering and a matt black 'rack. Oh yes.
It needs a 'theme' too, like a Taxi...but not as obvious. I know, some patina'd cream lettering on the doors in a boring typeface 'Southwark Social Services'. ;D

I think for an exhaust you shoud get a bit of pipe the same bore as it is now and just weld on a bout 6" upswept. M3 clusters looks ace but it depends what look you wanna go for, the stock orange lights look more retro. i think rack and satin bonnet would work but mabe a bit over done, it would look sweet though

In fact the more I think about it, the more it's a great idea ;D roofrack with some big horns on (a la that FerryHorn video ), a flashing light, one of those mega-powerful spotlamps that unhook and are on a long curly lead, and a loudhailer (IMAGINE the fun you could have with THAT!) Just don't take the fire theme too literally:
