Mod Mod Mod Mod...
« on: 15 August 2008, 09:30 »
Right, I was going to go for a re-map this weekend, but after reading jonnyturbo's dilemma thread, I decided I should get all my other mods in there first. Since I got the car last Friday, I've thrown in a BMC CDA and Forge Splitter DV and it's sounds nuts... but it doesn't look it IMO.

So I'm in need of some exterior styling mods I think...

What I had in mind  was an R32 front bumper, an R-Line rear bumper, some 18s (would 19s be too big?) to sit on and a shiny new Miltek, I wanted the 4motion style twin pipe Miltek but I'm not sure if it'll fit with R-Line rear bumper (there's no cut-out is there?)? And if I did just get the exhaust this weekend, could I fit it without a new rear bumper? Would I just have to get the 4motion rear valance for the time being??

I'm after some advice really, I don't know which things to do, and in what order. I'm leaning towards wheels and exhaust to be honest, I'd have to wait for the bodyshop to spray up bumpers etc... And I'm not a big fan of waiting. Hehe.

I've got to make it look like I'm not getting the parts all at once lol. Mrs wouldn't be happy about that.  :cool:

EDIT - 'cool face' wasn't the right choice of smiley was it really? Are there any pussy cats??

It's totally standard besides the BMC and Forge, so brakes and suspension are standard at the moment.

How much am I looking at for breaks and suspension though? 2 grand seems alot, but it doesn't seem to stretch that far lol.
