Rear bumper is too large and chunky.

Other than that, looks pretty good.

Hopefully for 2009 - 1.7 Turbo.

Well at least it has been looked after-unlike that god awful one in pink!

Not keen on interior (matching orange-ew!) but its all personal taste isnt it?! And whether i like it or not, its refreshing to see one being so loved!! It does look MINT! :D

It is on the edge of my taste, but the front end is OK.

Do you have pictures of the rear spoiler?

I like it too... it's pretty tastfully done. Maybe the rear bumper is a bit chunky, but it has been fitted well.

Agreed on the rear bumper-it looks like the front bumper of something else. But i could live with that. I love it. Alot of time and effort gone into that. I'm especially liking the tinted front lights/DRLS.

I'd like to see some more pictures-the stereo, the interior, the speakers on the doorcards etc. Looks very nice!
