the wheels make a car.. spend some time choosing the right wheels for the car and it will change it!!! no bodykit especially on a 5 door

it usually screws into the glass.
if you dont fancy that idea you could tiger seal it on.

You only need to worry about the power steering pipe if your planning on slamming it, at the moment there are some good deals with KAM racing at the moment for Apex suspension kits.:y:

Yes you will need to drill into the bodywork but this also depends on what spoiler you choose! hope this helps buddy!:cool:

another few realy cheap mods is De-wiping the rear wiper. also T-cut or spray your rear badges black.
changes your rear end of the car for less than a £5 lol.

ha i cant either, looks smoother tho so i thought id give it ago lol.
take off your badges, sand off the silver on the badges. (best doin it with wet N dry)

n then put black t cut on them n polish away untill they shine lol. then put them back on.:y:
