   Yes, I have around £400 garunteed, if I get tax back that I'm owed it will bring me to £800.
   
   So far I have purchsed this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...sr=8-1&seller=
   
   Next I am thinking of getting the components off ebay for about £42 delivered. Then I will need an amp ofcourse. But what other mods would you recommend I did, I don't want alloys quite yet as I'm still learning and don't want to put any on until I pass
   
   Atm I'm thinking :
   
   amp for components
   Angel Lights
   Alloys

   I had mine lowered a few days after I passed, makes no difference really.
   
   Its the first thing i'd do anyway if I had that amount of cash to spend.

   Just noticed I'll have around another £500 from this being my last week of work and I get paid of the week of anual leave I didn't take Would lowering 40mm all around be a good look?

   You could also consider an induction kit, or even an exhaust system. That would bring a smile to your face every time you went out then!!

   You would be better off going with a 50mm drop as it looks alot better also it won't effect your every day driving!

   I was originally gonna go 40mm, but decided to go 50 in the end, not detrimental to the handling on anyway and looks spot on

    I could proabably afford it, and would love to purchase, but don't really want to slam my car or spend £700 on alloys

    tinted windows?
    engine bay mod?
    exhaust system?
    lowered?
    rear smoked jewels?
    alloys?
    bucket seats?
    audio?
    meshed grill?
    spoiler?
    colour code interior?
    
    just a few things off the top of my head.

    Definately get it lowered and an induction kit coz then it will look sweet and sound sweet!
    
    50mm drop with a full car will just depend how heavy they are who is in there and also how the roads are near you, we are just full of speedbumps everywhere near me!
