how much would it cost to de tango the lights? Would I hvae to buy a new set or can it be cheaper? Also, i'm thinking of getting the wrc sticker set fitted and a nice backbox and maybe soundsystem if the budget can stretch..
what do you think?

A prime example of a gorgeous car there fella!
Get an after market splitter you'll save £££ if you do and they fit just as well (with a bit of elbow grease and some cleverly placed screws it'll fit even better) - I believe theres a GB going on at the moment?
De-Tango the lights is easy enuf, just remove the lights and heat up the silicone seal... carefully remove the front plastic cover and ping out the orange unwantables... replace plastic front and seal with silicone - job done!
The most fun you'll have is finding that perfect exhaust system that rumbles and raws!

Nice - the only suggestion I would offer would be get a set of Scott Lowe mudflaps for it - would set it off a treat.
The de-tango - plenty of guides both on here and on SIDC - consider giving it a go yourself if you are a touch technically minded though - it isn't that difficult. Remove lights - remove the screws holding the back onto the lense, heat up the sealant with a hairdryer (this may take a wee while - do small sections at a time then prize the two halfs apart) - once the lense is off the orange triangle just falls out. Reverse the process (using hairdryer again to warm up the sealant) then put some Silvatec bulbs in - they cost about £15 from http://www.revolution.eu.com - i'm fairly sure it's the W21W's you need.

Or... if you want a really good set of mud flaps made out of poly urethane (not PVC which wobbles in the wind), check this out:

Even has a fitting guide video... couldnt be easier!

£20 will get you 2 pairs of silvervision bulbs to do the job properly
the standard sound system is pants so go for it - i wouldn't do the stickers thing on mine though - i'm one of the less is more types

Check out the Group Buy on here in the classified section.
The splitters you get from the usual Scooby places are always perfect fits and made of plastic (ABS which is high tensile and very strong), but an after market one made of fibre glass is just as good and will cost half as much - thats the kind going on the group buy right now.
Friend of mine bought one and its perfectly ok, fitted and looks great!
