Looks nice man... In your pic it looks like the lower lip is on the wrong angle... It would look heaps better on the right angle... Like an old school touring car or something...
Also, maybe chrome mirrors to go with the grille  ...

ditch the grille, looks like some pimp truck or a gemini or something,
give it a whack of satin black and it looks sweet i reckon
otherwise nice,
nice choice of rims.. 
and what rollaboy siad too, have the lip extending outwards like a scoop...touring car style

I was considering pumping out the guard a bit or box-flaring, to give it a old-school touring car look... the main point was to keep it simple and not fussy looking, which means the grille may have to go 
I may have to revise the front spoiler too...
Thanks guys, keep the opinions coming in!..

looks good, but ahh..mustard went out a looong time ago. I know as mine was also that color. Been painted - You should definatly do the same ! try something less attention seeking, for more class.

I was tossing around the idea of putting a different spin on the original mustard colour, by repainting it in something similar like Holden's 'Hyper Yellow', or Ford's 'Acid Rush', because I quite like the colour, myself.
But, for now..I think I might settle with either a set of 13x6 Cheviot Turbo mags off my old KE38 wagon, or pick up a set of 13x7 Jellybean mags..I cant really decide..however, if i get the 13x7's I will have to get new tyres too, as they wont fit on my near new 155's & 165's that are currently on the car.
Do you think I will have to modity the guards to accomodate 13x7's? 
Im going to pick up a set of front 1/4 panels (as my current ones ate quite rusty) and modify them so I can fit the clear-lens commodore side indicators..it should look pretty sweet. 
Any ideas such as these would be appreciated, thanks guys..

Front end looks very sweet, I'd go ahead with these mods. Get a set of simmons rims, older style, they suite these corollas heaps.
I designed my own wheels and body, with using an existing pic of someone elses AE82 hatch. best way to see car before adding mods!
