Yeah maybe get a seat front splitter on there, and then you could smooth out your boot and maybe the strips on your bumpers and doors , with some mg zr side skirts and also de orange your fornt lights

Right ive been looking on google on a few sites, came across a few body kits, inc a brm style kit £795 and a combat kit for a 600
but its either gonna be a JDL kit or a komodo front bumper, with some side skirts like steve b`s or somthing, but ill post a few pics up of what ive saved from them sites.
