Im not a fan of buying a car and throwing thousands at it to radically change it, would rather mod to subtly enhance what the car already has. usually to remove constraints that manufacturers have imposed etc.

Make a car that stands out
BUT at the same time doing a lot of the work myself, instead of going for the give it to a bodyshop for a month and pay ££££ amount
Car has got me in no debt, and i'm still a student
Still brings a smile every time I drive it so all objectives completed
On the side its been in Max Power and featured in Fast and Modified. Its also in a movie.

It's a hobby. Like whats been said, i do most of the work myself and enjoy doing it. I would never put a car into a bodyshop and spend £££££££'s on it just for people to turn their heads.

Im thinking of spending £4k on a engine...but its a hobby like everyone says and at least when you spend money on a car you have something to show for it!
Working it out now though spending £6k on a £2k car is a bit dumb

Is it for example to show off? break 150BHP? Or just to stand out?
To go much, much, much faster. It's quite straight forward realy.
