Default Need some styling advice! UK EK Hatch

Hey Guys, Im just after some ideas at the moment. I purchased a 1999 Civic VTi a couple of days ago and I just want some ideas on styling.

*Excuse the photos, my brother took them in a bit of a rush.*





I thought about a front lip, maybe Spoon or Mugen, a CTR grill, a subtle rear lip, maybe an EK9 CTR one (if it will fit) and either a EK9 rear spoiler or Spoon duckbill. Rims and suspension will come later but ive got to start somewhere.

-Mark

great platform to build upon! You already have the twincam VTEC motor...I suggest a good suspension setup first, followed by some motor mods...

I would also do the sus first, its more important then looks. But the honda optional lip is a +.

Start with suspension first, then a subtle exhaust, then front lip, then wheels.
