I was hoping to see a lack of badboy bonnet and Lexus lights and the number plate sitting back in the appropriate recess in the bootlid.

Looks like a nice example though

at the risk of being the odd one out, i really like the look of that EXCEPT the lexus lights. Put some clears on there and delock it, and itll look awesome.

i really quite like the rs bb bonnet and cosworth front. looks awesome imo.

The Lexus ones I think he is reffering to.

It's your car at the end of the day so you can and should do what you like. Good FRST's are thin on the ground though which is why I hate to see the cosmetic alterations on it. If it was on an Si I doubt many people would bat an eyelid

It's getting better as time goes on. I see a proper recess for the numberplate in the rear bumper, and I'm glad to see you're losing the lexus lights. Still not a fan of the badboy or the front bumper, but then, I'm not a fan of kidney beans either, but that doesn't make them bad things.

nice touch mate, from the looks of it you have built the top edges up to marry up to the arches, that right..
if so nice one, glad to see it done right and not packed out.

Wouldn't you rather get tailpipes to weld onto your new system that suit the shape of the bumper? It seems a shame to waste your work on the bumper, plus oval tailpipes on hatchbacks etc are so 1998 :-? If you don't mind the honesty!
