I think if you've already made your mind up to keep it for a while then you need to decide if you're bored with it as it stands? I love the idea of modding for performance and styling and then i just can't bring myself to do it, i'd love to lower the GTI a little when i see others that have and then the doubt starts.. How long will my DCC shocks last? How would i feel going over the MANY speed humps round our way? Etc etc..

I'd like a stainless exhaust but don't like the sound of most of turbo back so would have a cat back which sound quite a bit like the standard exhaust so whats the point?...

Sometimes i hate the way my mind works!! :undecided:

That's dedication to the cause for you  :wink:

If I'm ever up Grimsby way and a beige bullet whizzes past with a tartan throw in the rear window, I'll know it's you  :grin:

Much of what you say makes perfect sense and sums up how I feel about modding.  So I accept I won't go down that road and aim to get the most enjoyment I can out of a stock car.  I do enjoy seeing what others do though.

Sootchucker, did you have anything specific in mind mod wise to refresh the GTD if you decide to keep it.  Perhaps you need to come up with a little wish list of mods to ponder?
