    I have £600 to spend and I am almost certain I will be keeping the car for another year or two so what would you spend the money on. My car is a mk2 1.1 forte in posi blue and I am fitting some black or white zcw bolt alloys at christmas, So far I have fitted a black bee sting aerial, heco wind deflectors, black angel eyes, tinted rear lights, A cheapo cone air filter, A badgeless black mesh grill, some vibe components up front and a fli 4 channel amp and a JBL sub, a ripspeed dv720 dvd player, also on the exterior I have got a magnex stainless steel back box and it is about 4" and looks to big. I most certainly want to change my exhaust and dont what else to get.

    I am thinking of getting a longlife exhaust with a straight through centre section and a 2" outwardly rolled tip, also lower it 40mm front and rear on standard shocks just aftermarket springs, I am also goin to get a carbon fibre ecu cover and paint the rocker cover white, then get some blue tailor made floor mats, and aero wipers on the front, and then may get some smoked jewels because I am not that impressed with my attempt at tinting the rear lights. Does anyone see any problems in this.

    £600 is halfway to getting a VTR.

    Personally, I wouldnt throw money at a 1.1 for performance. Its just not worth it. Either do a conversion to the VTS engine, or save up and buy a VTS/R

    1.1 + £600 = Throwing it away. Can't see any real point in spending money on it tbh. Save it for when you get a VTR/S

    is it a good idea to fix everything, get some alloys, lower it, and a smaller exhaust and thats it. (maybe a few little bits may cost £30)

    it comes to max of £300 because im gettin the alloys as a gift.

    so far
    £235 + travel costs - alloys
    £95 - Angels
    £55 - Jewels
    £25 + travel costs -Grill nd mirror caps
    £95 - backbox
    £35 - lowering springs

    and Willsy's charge for lowering it... so another £100 when i get it done,

    Total of £540 there alone. Thats without little bits like led bulbs and paint etc

    Surely Paint cost you a fair bit?

    just spend the dosh on the looks, that way you can just swap them onto your VTR/S!
    im sure most of the performance mods your on about are interchangeable with the 8 valve engines anyway??
