u mean exterior?

suspension first
wheels depending on what ur current ones are
exhaust
and then do things from there, dont buy cheaps tuff from halfords just because its a cheap gadget to go on ur car, think about it carefully and u basically get what u pay for. plenty of nicely modded cars on here for all budgets

i'm not gonna even start with lee on this one. But my insurance went up when i put 2.0 litre brakes on. for suspensions your looking at nothing more than a few quid extra a month?

it all depends on companies. some say for £150 quid a year u can have upto three mods. some are free if they dont make ur car perform better and some dont even insure u if its modded
