    @ Gold: In a way it helped me getting started as I alwayswanted to make the front end unique.
    So not just the lights, but the way the bumper fits in too it. See mine hasd thet stupid piece inbetween.
    @ Mac: You mean like this?
    [IMG]

    @ C-GT: Well there are a view of them around as the greed for speed and the cost of new cars increases.

    What you all think of the front bumper I want to get

    I think that bumper would make it look like a Honda Accord. Oh wait, it is.

    I think you mean that you don't like the body panel between the head lights and bumper? Not sure what you would do to change that.

    @ Gold: Yes that bit, you just take it away and replace the whole front with the new bumber that would support the lights and mould it to the other body panels.

    yeah, don't do it.... keep it looking more OEM and subtle, like a Corolla should.

    Thanks guys
    Only problem is NO ONE knows where I can find that front end as shown by Press22
    That is a OEM lip and fog light....
    This be one of the reasons why I am on overseas forums trying to find it.

    Ah, Yes.

    I did not take the pic. My suspension Mechy did it on his phone.

    So you like the new look?

    Will take some more 'photoshoot like pics once she has been fixed up

    Well they are 14"
    Looking in getting some other wheels but the smaller ones are better for the Gymkhana.
    Why?
    Because Racecar!

    More like 17's here in SA
    The 14's are a really odd size here and pay a lot more for rubber than for the same in 17"
    Same with 16's, rare.
    So will be looking at mayby 13's or 15's for the racing.

    Well I can barely fit my flat hand inbetween the tire and the wheel arch.
    Still need to play around with the height, can slam it more.

    Yes smaller for racing, less diameter to cover ground.
    Need some good looking 17" to fill the arch.
    Racing only once a month, will change the brake pads for it aswell, getting drilled disks next.
