mods include, lowering her, de-lock the passenger handle, deep chin front spoiler, paint the brake calipers red and i cant decide wheter to go for smoked lights or crystal light or maybe just leave them ?

Nice and subtle.

How about yellow calipers over red?

subtle is best :cool:
and get them hottuning coilovers while they are super cheap! and as for lights...If its got silver badges (front mainly) go for crystal's and remember at that low the deep spoiler will catch a few times! mine does at 40mm  :angry:

with the coilovers how often do you have to replace them when they are knackerd? would springs and dampers not be easier?  :smiley:

the hottuning ones come with a 2year warranty... but if your keeping the car 5 years then I think the shock n spring option maybe more suitable as I dont think the coilovers will still be living then!

I had exactly the same plan for the alloys ... although I do like the audi Rs8 (?) style alloys :smiley:

my bumper has never caught on the ground with my coilovers on and i had 4 people in the car on sat night, 3 record boxes each holding around 80 records, (anyone who knows anything about djing will know how heavy these record boxes are each!!)
also had 2 technics turntables on my mates knees, so yeah we were fully laden hahah, never scrubbed, rubbed or banged on the ground, and i did a 30 mile round trip..

MK 3's look best subtle if you ask me  :wink: :cool:

they do look good as well but i prefer the audi a3 pepper pots as it gives a G60 oem feel to it ??
