Give it a damn good clean as been a wee bit neglected over last few months...Not like me...
I mean wash / clay / polish wax etc...
Finish replacing my gearknob / gaiters and handbrake handle that I have started.
Get rid of the rest of the wood trim from dash like i done door trims.
Remove wheels and paint all 4 calipers a grey colour to match anthracite wheels.
Get scratch repaired on rear door.
Get dentm,aster to remove a few car park dings from doors 
Full exhaust system instead of just Magnex Back box.
Get it remapped from Rica or dastek unichip.
After that I will be happy, should be all clean and shiny and see 240bhp at least...
I think all in all could do all that for £1k or there abouts...
Any other suggestions?

I prefer these to be honest.....T5R ones are nice though and right colour but 17's are too small I think, would have to go lower...

Be such a waste without T5R alloys 
In all honesty Mav I love the car but the wheels really let it down 
Dads shouldnt drive with bling wheels as it points a midlife crisis of somekind...quite like an old guy with an induction kit on his MG ZR

I quite like the wheels. I think you probably could've chosen a better set, but they do look good either way.

Cheers Nath..When I choose them I was thinking on the grey/green theme and these suited my plans..
Forgot on the todo list
light smoked window tints...
I wouldn't say they are 'bling' either

Glad your keeping it... think you would regret selling.. If I had the spare cash I'd be buying Daves S70R... Absolute weapons..

I reckon a twin sqaure'ish exhaust (as in irmscher style NOT one on each side of the rear) would look better than the oval

I think I am going to go for a twin 3" round when I change the exhaust...
Cheers Kano........Hope it all goes to plan
