Im after some subtle modding ideas for me new beasty. Debadge, Smoked side reps, Smoked rear fogs and smoked front headlights. Irmscher or Steiny grille and SRi lower grille panels are already on the cards, and a beesting aerial is now fitted.

Due to a lengthy Vaux warranty still remaining, I will not be lowering etc yet as I dont want to void the warranty

Here are some pics of my car - please feel free to give me ideas or P/S's!

Yeh I like that exhaust Tarrantino

- Also like the more oval one they do like that?

How much is that little spoiler you've got as well? Saw one of these @ a Vaux dealer on a 'C' and despite being quite small, it does definitely look better!

jr - Eibach springs wont invalidate warranty?! Get in!!!!

Doesnt actually need much lowering (-25/30mm imo)

Cheers guys

Anymore ideas? Also want to try and get rid of the huge stereo I've got and put an MP3 one in its place, but I want silver dash insert, and also for the steering wheel controls to work - Is this all acheivable?!

silver dash surround costs around 25 english pound. well it did for me. but makes it look sweet.

il try get some pics and show ya. the steering wheel controls can be done, but it costs a fair bit. so im told.

buy a new irmscher steering wheel without the controls.

Class - expensive months ahead then!

But Irmscher gear is well worth it I know - Springs and wheels can wait for the moment imo - handles really well as it is!

I will try to sort out the other exterior styling bits first, then the stereo, then save up and get the thing lowered before considering new wheels

Also investing in new xenon style white lights soon - just gonna be a bit of a bugger seeing as the easiest way to change them is to remove the front bumper!

I already have the silver dash, but if I remove the big "CD30" system, I will need a single DIN adaptor - this I want to be silver as well? And I really want to keep the controls tbh - bit of a novelty that I like!

I cant remember the price of the spoiler ,but im sure off the top of my head it was something stupid. i think in the irmscher catalogue its about £400, dont hold me to it tho

Sounds so simple! Just very pricey!
