I've had it for a full week now and I got manual all down pat. I have a few rust spots on my car I'm getting fixed real soon.
On topic, I would like to modify the looks of my car. I've been browsing around and I found some really good DIY kinda stuff that I'm going to give a go. One key feature I'd really want to change about this car is make it look more "agressive" and "edgy". I love the hatch back but the bubbly front looks so so to me.
I really would like to change the grill, make it a bigger opening. Here's are some slight examples of what I'm after:

In this example the car has no stock grill any more at all. I was thinking maybe make it larger rather than replace it with a front bumper like this.

This I feel is a better example since his cars is also changed and his car does look much more edge and aggressive.
Looking around on the internet it seems like putting on a new hood and a new front bumper is my only option. Im trying to avoid a new bumper deal as much as I can because I cant afford a paint job for my entire car, around where I live everywhere I see people want 2.5 grand + for a basic base colour paint job. How hard and expensive is it to do it yourself?
Also looks wise where are some good website to buy parts for the mx 3? Im trying to find a new Precidia sticker as mine is wearing out and I would like a new one.
