Default Just got my first vtr

Ive just picked up my first vtr and I got the limited edition with the two colour body. Has anyone got any pointers for an inexperienced guy on what modifications I can do to my car on a tight budget. I havent got anything in mind so im open to most ideas and I just want to have some fun in my car whilst making a project out of it at the same time.
Cheers

I'd get it lowered first a relatively cheap job if you do it yourself and second hand shocks and springs are cheap. Theres a guide on the styling section full of photos of different ride heights and wheels.

De-wipering is a good mod. Couple quid for a bung to fill the hole in halfords makes the back end look much nicer IMO

Yeah ive thought about getting it lowered and getting something other than the vtr alloys (although they do look good sprayed black) ive also thought about getting different lights and tinting my windows

Give it a service and make sure everything works as it should before spending elsewhere
