I was in a similar position and found that the Kit Car Show at Stoneleigh was a godsend. Thinking about it, I'm not sure I've ever seen a Stratos outside the show.
Between the display cars on the LB and Hawk stands at the show along with at least a dozen owners cars in the Club area I was able to see a great cross section of cars. That was great for doing my own tick-box exercise about things I saw and preferred on some cars to others and ment I came away with a fairly good mental picture of how I wanted my car to look in terms of exhaust, engine, arches, lights, interior, dash, colour, graphics and other options.
My build should be starting this month and not much has changed in my head from how I envisaged it all when I paid the deposit.
