hi mate, welcome to the site! everyone starts with a K&N induction kit, they are the best mod for performance with a very cheap price tag, then i would say exhaust system...

on the visual side deffo needs to be lowered!

Hi tom, im new too soo hello

I think the best to start off on is little details like badges and bulbs etc. Its the little things that get noticed by people who know what there talking about. But if its perfomance you want i think deffo the k&n as it seems to be very popular. But id get it lowered for handling before you start getting big power gains
