Thanks guys, I've been thinking about wrapping the body matte green and spraying the bumpers matte black, I'm not sure though as I like the way it looks now, I might get some alloys for it but again I'm not sure as it already looks nice, will be taking it to japfest 2 next month :D

Looks great mate.

I wouldnt lift it to be honest. Doesn't need it and will ruin it for road use.

Don't wrap it either. The nice shiney paint contrasting with the grey plastic is what gives it its unique look.
