Pictures dude . lol
Maybe a spoiler lip like the UK St (I think) has .
A wider stance always looks good to , so wheel spacers look good, red brake calipers have a certain charm as well.
I have the performance blue 2010 XR5 Turbo stock unmolested that I want to take back to a stock paint job, the guy I bought her from had started to light sand her back and she looks a little wasted .I want to swap out from the white GT stripes to black so I have a wider range of wheel rim options .I'm asking you , do you think I should swap out the white GT stripes for black ?

UK ST Never had a lip spoiler
Exterior wise they were the same.
Only visible difference was that UK ST 2/3 cars had Bi Xenons which the AU delivered cars never got.

As for cheaper exterior mods.
Painted wheels
Painted Wing mirrors
Painted front lip
UK ST spec badges
