So, took on some ideas, and as I had time today, resprayed the red grills, and colour matched the bottom trim and fog lights.

Nice, like the idea of the sub but did it take up the spare wheel storage?

[Aidsy1]

Yeah it has. You could maybe find a way of fitting the sub with the spare wheel. But a can of ture sealant will do for me. I don't travel very far usually.

alloys and suspension next aidsy maybe, change discs for somet grooved or drilled. Front lip in body colour

Suspension has been done. 30mm Toyota motorsport lowering springs. Have been thinking about alloys, but are expensive (I picked the springs up cheap)

[smudge-1991]

Fair enough for springs I'm guessing then you have the Sr suspension on it now how about looking for some Sr180 rims

Yeah will do

Nice, although you cannot have things in your boot now if you don't want to brake the sub. Or you need to make a cover for it. Mine is fitted under the spare wheel so it's possible option too. Also I think you need more of the red theme. Maybe chrome parts inside your front lights? Also antenna and maybe rims?

[Aidsy1]

I have a cover over the sub (the plastic tray thing, it doesn't lose any sound). Where in particular for the red? How would I chrome the inside of the lights?Have been looking at a shark fin antenna for a while.

[Speed_Chaser]

Ah ok then you're on the safe side. As I said you could paint red some of the other black plastic bits. And on the inside, paint the silver bits in car's colour, it will look sick nice!

Just remove your lights and then warm them in the oven or with heat gun to melt the glue around the glass. Then open them up and get the inside painted in red instead of silver.

[Aidsy1]

Fair enough.

The oven bit sounds like (knowing me) I'd melt then lol. It sounds like a good idea, may look into it. What I'm considering next though is changing the dash LEDs to white, or blue. A friend of mine said about have 2 LEDs and when the shift up light comes on the dash glowes red, that I may do as well.

[Speed_Chaser]

That'd be awesome, please post a DIY if you'll do it!

[Aidsy1]

I'm looking into it now, does anyone know what type of motors the dials are on? I'm thinking of using a microprocessor to do the job, and if possible i'll hack into the motors and when the car starts i'll make them do a sweep effect.

Edit:

OK, so have the speedo apart, and my LEDs are the 3 cathodes 1 anode type. should be able to do this easy enough...provide I find the common anode/cathode -.-

Have put up more photos, with fog lights and bottom trim colour matching.
