Mods for £300. what to get?

[edewer]

hey guys.

have been given £300 to spend on the car, and undecided what to go for really.

Obviously theres the remap route but i dont really wanna go down that route til i'm running an exhaust/TIP etc so i can go stage 2. also dont really wanna go down the coilove route either

so what are my other choices? where should i spend my hard earned pennies?


any help appreciated

I agree totally...

 

[m0rk]

Mine too.

 

[evo2345]

may have a little left over for a strut brace too lol.

everything on that list is along the lines i'm thinking except the HIDs. are they really worth it?

Yes they are worth it! Great light from them...

 

[Nath.]

Yes HID's are well worth it

 

[Damoegan]

I've got all them on the list (well the whiteline arb is on order) and I must agree, they are top mods.

HID's make a very big difference.

Rear spacers is another option. I'm still worried about failing MOT if I get HIDs.

hell yeahhhh

Good shout, Kris. Spacers are worth the money (I'll be getting some in a few months).

Dont think anyone has had problems with MOT either mate.

Yea, I guess so...just don't want the hassle lol.

Personally I would go for a Stage 1 remap if I had the £300 to spend as it would give you the most difference for the money. You can usually get an upgrade discount when you go Stage 2. If you want to wait then remember you will need to spend £700+ on the exhaust alone so maybe you should put the £300 towards that? You don't really need anything for Stage 1, maybe an aftermarket recirc valve like the Forge 007P. Just my opinion

 

[m0rk]

it can't fail the MOT if it produces a correct beam pattern.

Two MOTs with them on no problems, but I got them alined the day after I fitted them, they were too high. As for the £300 I would go spacer rear ARB front strut brace

 

[edewer]

after thinking it thru i'm gonna spend a lil less and go for the ARB, spacers and strut brace for the time being.

and possibly a few lil cosmetic bits too
