I wanted to learn to walk before I started running so for my first ever mods today I fitted my M3 mirrors, new door speakers, sub and an amp :y:
It got me wondering, what were your first ever mods?

first mod to my saxo was fitting an airfilter then fitting sound system, but it was owned by my mate at the time!
since ive had it ive debadged it(only got the holes filled atm, need to spray it), modified the aerial, moved tweeters from being blu tacked to the dash to the doorcards, fitted a new exhaust, and put the air filter in an enclosure

ahh is it hard to fill the holes. was thinking of buying the badges again and spraying them black as i got steelies on atm which are sprayed black.
de badgin is a good idea if 1) you do it properly and 2) your prepared to fill the holes

theres a reason most people spray/tcut them! im thinking of chipping the fibreglass out and putting badges back on because i know i'll just never get round to finishing off the holes

Bought my filler and paint before I've taken them off so I know I'll do it all in a one-r :D:panic:

The first job id do is,
Check the brakes/replace pads and paint the calipers. I've always felt working on the stoppers is formost before even thinkin about taking the bhp up.Then work your way up.
The headunit should take a weekend to do... only about 10mins.
Each to there own tho.
Good luck with the tints
