Engine mods... simple dont do it on the 1.6.. apart from stainless cat-back (2nd hand) as they last longer than standard exhausts. Engine: 2.0ltr is cheap to fit. Bodywise: Skirts and arches from xr/rs models, which can be modded to fit 5 door. Lowering.. 30mm is good. 60mm will eat your front tyres, no matter what anyone says.. it will. but can easily adjust camber. Spoilers.. RS accesory lower spoiler can be done if you like it, rst top spoiler which is half colour coded Wheels.. the world is your oyster. |

Welcome to the site  What paul said really, but also can uprate the brakes by putting bigger callipers/discs on the front and discs on the back (can use Mk1 focus discs on the back or sumthing of the sort), along with uprated pads. You can also put strut braces on for the suspension and polybushes to improve the handling of the car

Hey, don't drag me into all the childish comments! I'm happy with my car, and happy that others are happy with their happy cars. No need to bleat on about the same old tosh now is there!
