nurrish Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 I have a few things im considering at the moment. budget around £500 give a take a bit A: Personalized Number plate B: K1 Exhaust C: Seibon Carbon bonnet Already have upgraded my ICE and have a pop charger. Open to other suggestions Not looking to add other exterior mods other than the bonnet. Quote
Ekona Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 Bonnet will make you faster. Exhaust will make you and others think you're going faster. Numberplate will probably make you look a tit unless it's tasteful. HTH Quote
Ian Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 Bonnet will make you faster. Its barley lighter than oem Quote
rtbiscuit Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 i'd do the exhaust, but look at the turbo xs one. i think it might float your boat Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 Would go with Zorst but only if you have already dont the standard engine mods first, plenum spacer, grounding Kit, air dam etc etc.... Wouldnt go for the K1(Just personal opinion), maybe the turbo XS but would look at something like the Nismos or the 5zigen... Number plate and bonnet would be down the list... Quote
Beavis Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 Zorst but £500 would only get you a second hand nismo andyou would be lucky to get one at that after the current price increase Quote
GIXXERUK Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 Prices are dropping like a stone on these cars, so the only thing that would make financial sense would be a personal plate, at least you can take it off when you sell Quote
marzman Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 I'd say plate. Although mines an 03, so i would say that! Quote
mwalker56 Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 Save the £500 and wait until you have more, then get a decent set of wheels. Nothing looks better than having some serious width on the rears. Quote
lilsheepshagga_turbo Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 get an exhaust..... get the turbo xs one that adam is selling... its falls in to your price brackets me thinks and i think it sounds pretty alright... personally i think the standard exhaust is crAp... so do the noise thing ... -ho Quote
BJMax Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 there are a lot of mods you can do.. ill wil say.. what do you like to do.. is it power you want, take test pipes and a kinetix or plenum spacer. that wil gain power and a great sound. race sound.. take a exhaust system.. but look for one that if you are driving 60 you still can talk to you passenger. youtube.. you will find a lot of sound clips. Handeling.. take sways.. and that is a great mod.. looks well.. spacers is a idee.. gr Johan Quote
M350ZB Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 I would get spacers and a scorpion zorst or a smilar zorst, prob just a tad over £500, but would look Quote
nurrish Posted November 28, 2008 Author Posted November 28, 2008 Thanks for some good and interesting suggestions. Edging towards spacers and plenum spacer....... Anyone here attempted to fit these them selves?? Ill do a quick search in the meantime Quote
M350ZB Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Both a doddle to fit bud, defo wheel spacers though Quote
BJMax Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Thanks for some good and interesting suggestions. Edging towards spacers and plenum spacer....... Anyone here attempted to fit these them selves?? Ill do a quick search in the meantime It is very easy. I have done it myself also. 90% of the the time there is a manual with it. Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Plenum is easy, guides on the web too, Spacers, make sure you get the right ones..... some people have bought the wrong ones... Something to do with hubcentric or somethign like that! Quote
Ekona Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Out of interest, what number plate were you thinking of buying? Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 If the OP does post it, dont all go and look for it! The numberplate companies monitor the searchs for certain plates and then either buy them using their discounts or if they own them start putting the price up due to demand!! Quote

I'd only ever buy from the DVLA anyway, as they're always cheaper as the other companies simply buy from them and then put their percentage on top. Quote
