Hi Marcelo,

Welcome here, nice job you did. The one thing I wouldn't have done myself is the trunklid spoiler, it does look ok with the orange though.

Looks very nice in the oldschool colour.

The car is a little bit lowered i think. Looks good!

There is something about that colour that just sticks! The turquoise colour is also another good colour for these and 2002's in particular
:-D
