I've got a basically standard Mpi sportspack, but i was just interested to see what small mods i could do to make it look at little bit better without going crazy (i'd like to make it easy to put back to standard if i so wished) i was just after some of your ideas and opinions really!!

 

here's a couple of pictures:

Looks good as it is to me. You could change the exhaust to something a little more subtle?

Mk2 lights are an option. Very easy swap, the go for about £20 on eBay.

 

I meant side repeaters and front indicators, I'm personally not a fan of clear at all, it's up to you though.

I'd avoid Mk2 rear lights on a Sportspack if I were you. I'd keep it cosmetically (very) similar and add a few performance enhancing mods.

Fair enough, would you not rather space it properly though to avoid getting a fine and possibly points?

Yeah, Mk2s on a Sportspack might look a little odd. 

 

+1 on the pressed (coloured) plates though, there's loads of places on eBay that sell them.
