Some cheap improvements?

[gnevnev]

Basically i have a 2003 1.1L Desire which is my first car, i dont really wanna spend alot of money on it because id rather save up for a really decent 2nd car.

so i was just wondering if there are any cheap thingys that i can do to it to make it look better, inside and outside of the car

the car is completely standard apart from replaced speakers, HU and VTR alloys :)
here are some pics if it helps:

sand down and spray the center consol / air vent covers / speaker covers?

cheap and cheerful and really makes an improvement :y:

How long you planning on keeping it?

[saxo_furio17]

dont forget t-cut the badges lol

[gnevnev]

Some nice ideas guys

im thinking of colour of doing the air vent covers, wont do the speaker grills or centre consls tho, too much colour imo and doesnt look great
and then i could get something like this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?VISuperSize&item=230487043395
and then floor mats with a blue trim so that the interior is colour coded
not much but just a little colour to the interior, not sure what it would look like tho... ideas?

[gnevnev]

How long you planning on keeping it?

not very long tbh
im 17 in july so thats when im actually gunna start drving on the road (i got a car earlier cus i live on a farm so have space to practice so i dont have to waste money on lessons about how to use the clutch lol)
ill probably have it for about a year and then get something else before i go off to uni

tint your windows buy it off ebay and do it yourself cheep andcheerful

T-cut the badges if it hasnt been said, maby smoke the fogs, spray the wheels a nice colour.

[Joe]

And another thing could cut the slats out of the top grill and mesh it.

[CraigLovelock]

Wind deflectors.

Tow eyes etc.

[damiandvs]

ive really come to like wind deflectors gonna have to get some

[Meto]

Aero/flat blade wipers. Makes it look more modern and they are only about £10 on ebay.

[AdamDougal]

lower it would make it look sweet mate.

[Lewis]

Dont waste your money just ensure you maximise resale value.

Could just buy a cheapish set of springs off eBay if your not planing keeping it for long.

i wouldnt do that tbh always by decent stuff cus cheap shit will 9/10 times fail and it will always end out being when you have it. for the sake of 20pound or so get the decent ones

[AdamDougal]

i think i might spray my speaker covers etc sounds like a good idea tbh lol.

[ashley1]

get some cheap springs and lower it 40mm on front would look nice also if you have enough money lower the rear by 60mm.
