looks really good. I love the color. I would have it lowered a touch and have the exhaust tips brought out a bit more.

I'm not a fan of SOM but it looks good. Very clean. I think your tips are on the wrong sides.

Great looking car...love the color!

Only thing is arent your tips on the wrong sides? The longer tip should go to the inside not the outside. That way it fits the curve of the bumper better. At least thats how my Corsa's are:

SOM, simply beautiful. Unusual color, looks outstanding when clean like yours. I went to that engine thread as well, and that bay is cleaner than the dishes I eat from!
