Default Next Mod ideas...

Just wondering what to do next, i've had a look on here at popular mods but what do people recommend nowadays that is easy to get hold of?

I have BC coilovers, UK exhaust mod, ebay headrest speakers/Alpine amp&HU/door speakers/dynamat, done some interior mods (leather armrest, gaitor, handbrake cover), skunk2 gear knob.


But what next? I can't go crazy due to insurance. But i was thinking Spoon front brace, OEM spoiler?

Mods generally fall into two categories:

1. Cosmetic
2. Performance

You need to ask yourself what you're after, then suggestions can be made

Personally.. stick a few turbos on, big ass gay wing, paint it fluorescent pink. Should do the trick!

I was more thinking along the line of a carlimits or ridedrive sort of event - I do one myself every couple of years just to keep me grounded... It's a lot of fun and you will learn something, and if you apply the lessons you will improve...

Simes.

Got decent Tyres, just stock brakes.

IAM is an interesting idea. I mean my insurance isnt sky high (and it will come down come renewal due to now being 25)...but still a good idea.

If my insurance was anything to go by, it'll drop substantially, mine did at 25

Have you had a DECENT geometry done on the S since dropping it on coilies? That makes a phenomenal difference too.

Pads? £100 will get you some DS2500's that'll rip your face off when used in anger. Brilliant mod too.

RideDrive or perhaps some off the road training like car limits is a great investment.

Lovegroova is a popular Mod

Front upper brace won't do much.

I'd invest it in shares!
