K&N was going to be my first suggestion lol, really easy to fit!!! Lots comes off the engine block, but I haven't got a clue what there for I just went along with it when my mate fitted it lol Rims sound good, I had my ST alloys powder coated, another idea!

Hmmm lowering- Eibach springs are the most popular! K&N might get you a couple more horses, but the sound is IMMENSE! I think some of the guys up in Scotland will be able to tell you about any meets up there, but we do have loads of meets through the year! Fiesta In The Park and Ford Fair are the main site ones, but we have all sorts, take a look at the "Archive of Meets/Events" thread

Hello and welcome. I would definitely suggest getting the car lowered on Eibach's and sticking on a K&N. They are the two mods that make the car how it should of been out of factory imo.
