i think clear indicators, mk2 rear lights, different badge and a lil lower and you have a car that i'd love to own!

Never thought I'd recommend chrome, but continuing the strip to around the arches would look good. +1 on the Mk2 lights, but I like the orange indicators on the front.

I thought the clear indicators too, but also clear jewel rear light covers as with that shiney blue they would look really nice.

I'd loose the bonnet badge, get some MK2 rear lights and wire up some nice fog / reverse lamps.

i keep debating about different arches some deeper arches that come closer to the wheel would that work or do i have to live with the arch gap?

I like the arches; it's not over arched at all.
I think mk 2 lights and different badges would be nice, I like the orange indicators aswell.
