Sticker bombing ... just say no.
Subtle mods make a big difference
De badging and subtle colour changes or coding
Making stuff fit better rather than making them stand out
Is key to making something look less chavy.

Ha ha.
Helen likes them.
I told her we should take them off before they get ripped off and have no resale value.

Thanks Andyrew for the pointer on the hoses, got them in watched now
I'm thinking of subtle but clean and tidy, just like the jimny dan, I like it
I thought about colour coding the bumpers but it would cost a fortune haha, so I'm going to take the GV down to the place that wraps cars not far from me, and see how much he would charge to wrap the bumpers and trim in gunmetal grey, will also take a trip to a body shop and see what they would charge to repair the scratches above the drivers door handle
I looked on google for ideas on changing the interior from the dull ugly grey to a nice black, and then wrap the trim pieces in a brushed aluminium effect vinyl
I think I'm going to do all blue silicone hoses under the bonnet and either paint the strut brace or sticker bomb it as it's out if sight until the bonnet it opened, not sure yet
Would just like to say thank you to everyone that had given me help an ideas over the past few years on here, a lot of other forums just like to make you look stupid or just not help at all, one main reason I want to stay with suzuki's...
