Best Mod for under £150 . . . . ???

[Nick.]

Was wondering what you all think is the best 'cheap' mod? Was thinking something along the lines of braided lines? Silicone induction hoses? etc . . . any thoughts?

Biggest impact would be springs.

Nicest touch would be interior pieces - steering wheel retrim or strips and gearknob IMO.

Yeah good shout, was just thinking springs actually! Looking at H&R's as we speak lol

Not under £150 though, just a tad more

 

[Nick.]

Yeah true. Plus fitting. Hmmm

Wheel colour
ITG filter
Steering wheel insert
RS mats
Spoiler (depending which one)
Interior

A few little changes for not a lot of monies

Auto dim rear view mirror was one of the best mods I did.

How much did that cost to do? And is it just a matter of swapping the mirror and connecting into the rain/light sensor, or is there a load more wiring?

Pretty cheap and easy, just swap the mirror and connect up ground and earth

2nd hand exhaust, keep an eye out on eBay, ktec ones usually pop up for the 197

Yeah, gonna say... Good springs and fitting are more like £200...

If I was gonna blow £150 on a standard car, i'd potentially get the wheels or brake disks sprayed. Would get change too...

wish one would pop up for a 200.

I'd buy braided lines and a decat, but I'd fit them myself. I hate lowering springs with a passion

Performance - Panel Filter / Brake Fluid & Hoses
Noise/Fun Factor - Centre Section Removal
Looks - Wheel Refurb

You'll struggle to find trusted ''big name'' lowering springs for £150 or less.

Just bought a mirror off fleebay. Not fitted it yet.

Easily the best mod....
1. SPRINTBOOSTER
2. Matched inlets + (hopefully) Enlarged TB =£150!!!!!
3. RS Skirts or front chin.
4. Alcantara wheel, gaiter, knob and dash display retrim.
5. Recaro seat covers x2
6. Front and rear ultra racing braces.

what is this sprint booster? sounds interesting

 

[Willis]

It sits between the throttle pedal and ECU, basically multiplies the input signal going from the peddle to increase throttle response.
