- Get/make a air box for a pod filter if you have one installed.

- Replace suspension bushes, most 20 yr old cars by now have raped ones, made a huge difference on my car.

Edit, just saw you mean't just looks.

In that case, do the above anyway, but I can recommend shadowlining the chrome around the windows black, looks so much better

There is tons more, just a couple I thought of straight up.

All red tails could look sweet on an alpine car.

Get yourself an is lip!!! they're plain sex. there's also sum schnitzer side skirts on trademe. btw although your photoshopping is rangi styles i reckon you're onto something with that look.

ALPINE E30's are the SHIZNIT

schnitzel and is lips do not equal cheap. Get a oil cooler pfl lip and pimp your BMW, paint those bumpers and save up for suspension.

My 2c

lose the chromes

yes i know, only about the 100th person to tell me that.

I cant afford to right now, sorry to disapoint

[Gus 5]

100th? is that all? we must be losing our touch!

good enough reason - will make a big difference in all areas when you do..

Complete shave

And if you sell the the cromes to a G for $600 inc tyres, you can buy bottles for say $100 w/ tyres, and then you have $500 towards a set of these!

Stick some black painted widened steel wheels on it 15x8 front 15x9 rear, should be able to do this with the money you get for your current wheels. Lower the front 10mm and raise the back 10mm. IS front lip. Done, instant cool for under a grand.

Cool and cheap, not try hard.

Gotta get the stance write though, really low at the front.

+ IS front lip = Win.
