the only exterior mods I've done to mine are the aero wipers and front grill badge, the only other mod i'd really consider is the rear spoiler and maybe colour coding the valances.


IMO if you are going to make any exterior mods then keep it OEM or subtle as you could end up looking like you're driven into a halfords and come out with random rip speed parts stuff on  :laugh:

The site is like a maze, I can't find anything about it, and there's no proper search option :(

might not let you log in

search function is in the top right corner and is pretty spot on usually

it is a bit confusing as there's so many sub sections  :sad: thats why i prefer this site  :cool:

All I've done to my exterior so far is add black smoked side repeaters.  I'm hoping to get a smaller aerial and a rear boot spoiler soon.
