modding dilemma
« on: July 23, 2009, 05:40:26 pm »
hey guys
 here we go..... bear with me..... :happy2:
i am really happy with what little ive done so far
lowered remapped new front grill number plates,rear lites...and few little cosmetics...
in next few weeks i plan on the rear bumper and skirts being colour coded-having been let down twice....
oh and an armster armrest-do NOT wanna pay 200+ for oem but i really miss an armrest from past two cars!
i reckon i have about 150 ish per month to play with before i encroach on my family commitments etc so what di do save for next?so do i buy little bits like the window shades and deflectors etc....and do lil bit by lil bit or get saving for.......

wheels.... thinking bbs lm reps in 18's
exhaust sorta happy with stock BUT that means spending over a grand as i want an r32 look with straight thru pipes.
air intake- love the look and sound of the carbinio thingy :rolleye:   am happy with sound and performance -does it make that much difference??
and then there is so much stuff you lot talk about that goes over my head so i figure if i dont know what it is i dont need it right?? :stupid:
so whats the general consensus?
let me know pleeeeeeze??/

I think you really need the exhaust to compliment the rest, If it were me and with hindsight i wouldn't buy the Carbonio as its just engine bling plus you can buy a cheaper version from the states on ebay u.s and it does exactly the same as the dearer Carbonio and you cant tell them apart exect the orig has a sticker which isnt worth another £150.

For £150 I think you can get the WALK kit which really helps.
