Hi Kamy450

Thanks for your inputs! Will keep an eye on the brakes and boomy engine noise and maybe point them out at the first service just to be sure.

I should have updated the snap of the rear. I HAVE fitted the chrome licence garnish which has made a world of difference to the rear. It does look great on the black. Will take a snap and repost ASAP.

A few details of my accessories:
Chrome outer door handles
Chrome licence garnish
2 Nippon speakers (adds to the 2 which comes with the car)
Car cover
Beige Carpet style mats, and
Transparent rubber mats (to put on top of the beige mats)

I simply ran out of my budget after doing the above so have kept the stock Kenwood ICE for the time being and will hopefully replace it later.

Also considered the sill plates and the 'chrome kit' which has the front bumper garnish, half chrome covers for the ORVMs and a tail-lamp surround but did not buy it as I didn't like their quality or the thin-ness of the metal used.

Wanted to upsize tyres too but was forced to postpone it as:

1. Ran out of money!
2. Wasn't sure if I needed the same as will be doing mostly bumper-bumper city driving;
3. Unsure of effect on fuel consumption and on ride height

Will consider it much later when tyre change comes around.

Mind you, I spotted a Black Aveo on 205 alloys and what looked like original bodykit which looked mindblowing! The colour is imposing anyway and the 205 alloys and skirting etc gave the car just as much road presence as say a new black Accord with alloys! Now thats saying something!

Let me know how you guys are faring!
