Thanks guys,

Not had the car long so nothing really done...

Got myself some flat wiper blades from halfords today... Look a lot better than the alternative

Plans....
Some white St stripes for up the side
Tinted rear windows
Savage backbox for some sound while I put away money for a milltek catback to match the milltek sports cat
K&N 57i induction kit.. From what I have read this seems the best choice
Eibach 35mm lowering springs or apex springs I'm sure I read a 45mm is available
Wheels are in a desperate need of a refurb and toying with the idea of sprayed white afterwards
Milltek manifold

Also is the 60mm throttle body worth it??

Feel free to jump in and give advice on what/where to buy or anything I may be forgetting
All feedback and input is appreciated,

Sounds good..... the K&N and 60mm TB are well worth doing

K & n is a definite, throttle body is a nice to have but unless you find a well priced one then they're expensive for not much benefit.

I'd put the money towards springs instead (or coil overs if you can stretch to them)

Beware of white wheels!! Be a sod to keep clean lol

I've looked at Coilovers but I think they will have to wait...

I know what you mean about keeping the White wheels clean, one of my friends advised me that because I drive pretty hard with hard braking the brake dust will stick to the wheels if I don't clean them often.. But I'm a stubborn fecker so I'll probably get them anyway....

Quick question, does anyone know the best place in central Scotland or around belfast to get a remap?

Thanks guys

Hello & welcome happy
If your planning thos mods your best off going strait to Mountune for the mp165 thumbs
Instead of the K&N go for the Mountune CAIS, its not that much more £ http://www.mountunestore.com/collections...riant=839685153
