Alright, here's a number of mods that I'm just thinking of doing and I guess I just wanted people's opinions of what they thought and what they'd do, too. So here goes...

Sat Nav, I think it makes the centre console look so much better.

Side skirts, I think this adds a subtle look, rather than the flat out bodykit, even though the bodykit does look nice, just too reference sportish, though.

Alluminium(sp) door sills, I thought they looked nice, anyway.

Leather seats? Do Seat/VW actually offer good leather or is it worthless? I just saw this on their website and thought it looked good.

Revo'd. Do you think it adds not only greatly to preformance but for lower amounts of petrol?

Lowering. How low do you think you should go?

I know a few of these have been answered, but I just wanted them all in one place, really. If there's any other mods you could/would do, then let me know, because I'm pretty sure I forgot some, lol. Thanks in advance.

I dont really think think revo imoproves consumption much, but dont think It puts it up either. The theory is, as you have so much more low down power, you dont have to rev it so much... in practice this can work quite well. Revo transforms the car completely though :)

Lots of threads and opinions on lowering, have a search. With coilovers you cant go too low though, ive found.

There are two types of sat nav, the standard mfd2, or the newer VW MFD3, search for my threads about these.

Mods wise, thee are lots to do, I have all of the folow performance mods...
Remaps stage 1 and 2,
Forge TWINtercooler,
Milltek full exhaust,
Induction kit,
Forge Shortshifter,
Coilovers,
Front and rear ARB's,
Forge DV,
Engine bushes,
Big Brakes.

Some are more worthwhile than others, but its personel opinion on alot of things things as well :)

I would say everything Dan says bar the big brakes as that will be dependent on your use of the car. Dan likes to throw his about a track so brakes work for him, on the road, if you really really need them, then maybe you should think about doing it on a track. No offence intended, just that if you are driving where the brakes are put through their paces on a public road, you might be being a little naughty :)
