not sure what to do for my next mod, i have like £50 spare til next payday so gunna spend it on my car :homme: im thinking wind deflectors or pressed plates from dubmiester?
what would you rather spend your money on? wind deflectors seem expensive for what they are... then again, so do pressed plates :panic:
also been looking at getting black pillars, what ones are a, b and c? *noob* and are they hard to replace??
opinions? :oops:

ANYWAY, pics of my car atm:

Interior mods! Retrim headlining? Pillars are real simple, pull off basically! A pillars come from the roof into the dash, B are where the front seat belts mounted into, and C is where the rear seat belts bolt in. Simples!

been there, done that! bought one from halfrauds for £12.. it picked up radio 1 and that was it.. didnt pick up my local radio stations, so i was right in there and took it straight back :homme: they claimed it was because my aerial wiring was faulty? :S even though the standard one works fine.. meh

I'd say your car looks perfect outside then, concentrate on inside, upgrade ICE if possible

Tom, some light tinted team heko wind deflectors would look spot on on your car :y: On ebay about £35 posted IIRC

Also, there are some A-B-C black pillars in FS section at £15.

Thats your £50 spent on 2....yes 2!!!!!!! mods ;)

Thank me later :hug:

I like the red tape, it sets your wheels apart from the car, makes them stand out more, your rear lights look like mine, but mine look a bit smoother? if that makes sense :/

If you fancied a change, get your badges done the same red as the rim tape, and the chevlons on the grill as well, would give the car a more detailed look, rather then the Mr Bean, tnt in paint tin gag. :p

i believe we have the same tail lights mate, its just the camera angle :homme:
as for the rear badges and chevrons, i did my chevrons red once (see my progress thread page2).. liked it for about 2 days and then thought my car looked like a promo ad for halfords, so sprayed them black.. i may just stick to the interior as anymore exterior mods may spoil the car :S

I have black headling and black pillars and looks nice tbh. If ya short of cash its pretty cheap. Headliner i think i spent £15 on materials. Pillars, you could spray your own or buy some lol.

you could always sack off the pinstripe on the wheels?

free, and would look better.

those kind of mods are cool when youre in school / college. but just looks a joke when youre over 18.
