Fit a red TURBO badge on the grill :wink:

It really depends on your budget, body kits are available as are lowering kits but these have been reported to make the ride harsh it also depends what colour your beloved is, like m/f it says best off posting up a couple of pics to give us an idea of where we're starting :D

You have got to be brave if you want a different look. cutting parts up :shock:
One thing I did was to cut out the orange indicator and fit a new bulb that looks blue but flashes orange.
Take a look at the pimping me bigdaddy and dabs did to get my bongo to look the way it does today.

Just standard bongo bull bars, but had to modify the grill to fit.

I used a seat cupra splitter on the bottom of the bumper to give the front end the apperance of being lower, dummy side steps also make it look lower 8)
