I love that colour!
Dump the car on its guts and that should set it off.

YEah lowering the car would make it look wesome then. Id go to interior/ stereo and engine mods .
That is truly a mint car for a L plater

looks mint for an l-plater mate.
idd say EF taillights, and chuck a cam in as its almost impossible for a cop to know if its cammed if your worried about that, loose the spoiler too.

Just be careful when lowering it. Pete/phatel had 19" gtps and super lows (i think?) and wore the tyres from them touching the guards. Might be a good idea to get em rolled

The insides were worn, but that's just a camber issue.

Nah the guards scrubbed until he had them rolled which stopped it.

Im going to go the other way...
Dont touch it!!!! leave it as it is. Looks perfect now and if you lower it you run the risk of ripping the genuine front lip off in car parks which are almost impossable to find and so damn expensive. it will save you in defects. Just stick a cam and chip in it and it will be plenty for a P plater.

Very nice car mate, wheels suit it. As others have said lower it, EF tail lights, lose the spoiler, cam it, extractors and exhaust. You'll be content for a while!

Make sure you get some shortened shocks with ultras.
EF tail lights, de spoiler, 1636/1673 cam, extractors + exhaust will do ya for a while
If its a slushbox get a shitkit, manual get a ripshifter and short stick.
