great plans mate, i would say go for suspension, brakes, engine and interior and exterior mods! in that order :) i9 say this as i wouldnt want to do lots to the engine and have shit brakes and suspension while driving it!

Im from Maidstone, Black VTS :)

Stick to 15" of below alloys, any bigger looks stupid and avoid most 'modifications' sold at Halfords.
