My Corolla E12 & Future Upgrades

[Prime]

Hello all, I'm new here although I have been viewing the forums here and have seen some sexy looking E12s! Hence why I had to open up an account here and create a topic so that you guys can assist me in upgrading my baby.

Right to the point. I originally bought my Toyota Corolla E12 2003 1.4 car in September 2013. Since then I've:

• installed an active vibe 10" subwoofer with 2 x 6x9s powered by the Sony Xplod 52watts
• Installed 6000k xenon bulbs
• Tinted the windows
• Installed Team Heko wind deflectors
• Installed green SMD footwell lights
• Tinted back lights

Now it's time to take the big step and upgrade the alloys from the standard 15" alloys to 17"/18" Inovite ST16 alloys. Which one looks better the 17" or 18s? I don't want something too big or catchy, I'm going for this kind of look:

My Corolla E12 as of now (Sorry for the bad quality, was at work) :

Also I'm looking to purchase a set of the BC BR coilovers, before I purchase them I was wondering has anyone else got them on the corolla E12? If so how are they? Additionally when installing the coilovers will I need to change the drop links? I'm looking to drop the front by 45mm and the rear by 40mm so that it will match nicely with the alloys I will be purchasing after I've lowered the car.

Future mods:

• Tint front lights (MOT legal or not?)
• TTE/NK Tuning rear spoiler
• Custom exhaust
• Aftermarket front bumper, side skirts and rear bumper

I'm open to suggestions!

Thank you all for reading, hope to hear any one of you soon!

That is correct Indeed, I was wondering what sort of colour would suit my vehicle and what " I should go for? I'm not sure whether that is 17" or 18"...

[Raistlin]

I would go for 17" and paint it storm grey

I like the sound of that!

Also I wonder do you have any experience with the BC BR coilover setup? I'm looking to purchase it but need help on whether I need anything else before I install it on my car.
