If you had 1000 euro to mod your FTO...

[CJ]

....what would you spend it on? Basic servicing aside, I reckon you could do a lot to improve the look and performance of an FTO with a grand in the hand.

My list - lowering, Blueflame quads, dials and HIDs.

Oh, good question. Starting from scratch, exactly the list you mentioned CJ.
Starting from where the car is at the moment, KMC dials and aluminium surround, a Top Mix front, D'C apron at the back, blended in and painted. Not much change from that I'd say. But... if I did, new head unit.

[Muad_dib77]

1.Hids (150e)
2.Lowering (200e (springs and fitting))
3.2nd hand rims (500e)
4.Decat (50e)
5.Uprated Panel Filter. (just about the rest)

I'd modify mine to have a rear wiper. Dunno if it could be done, the hole for it is not there.
And heated mirrors, like in http://cars.gctranslations.co.uk/FTO_Mirrors.html. I'll have a look into that for real!
Also I'd add ABS and traction control like in the '97 model.

Well I'd also love to have it modified to 4WD. And add twin turbo to get some 300HP. OK, now I'm dreaming

if i would get 1000 yoyos in the morning to spend it on the car my list would be :

uprated flywheel/clutch
catback quads
induction kit

and the rest i thing would go for a HIRO spoiler

[power]

hmmm....
would def go for the popular blueflame quads
dc skirts
bozz speed front bumper

then all i'd have to do is save another €2000 to get it al sprayed!

[d_dan]

Hks fcon pro. But that's 1200.

Or

AP Carbon bonnet,
LSD

[gfalls]

I'd spend it on laser eye surgery, so I can get a better look at my P&J..

[miss-enzo]

HID's

KMC dials, alluminium needle cups and rings and carbon surround.
Leatherette seat covers

Jaysus didnt realise i had so much!!!!

[fatboyfat7]

Clear Repeaters €30

I've been looking for these and cheapest I could find was £48. €60 more or less. Do you know somewhere cheaper?

[MY-JAP-MISTRESS]

if i had a grand to spend it would be a manual conversion and coilovers

check ebay, MX5 repeaters work.

[Syn]

Id spend it on fuel

[LSpec]

I already have, Hid, apex lowering.

So my idea is, a lot of carbon fiber, hood, interior parts, recaro interior and i think that is it, money gone...

[karlf]

I like the sound of that. If any one can get a pic uploaded of them up lit up and in the dark that would be good. Where can I get these and are they hard to fit? Are they able to fit the pre-face lift model?

[colm_mcm]

If you mean HID's, look for a thread in the for sale section called "Really cheap HIDs"

[karlf]

Sorry for the lack of clarity there. I meant the LED parking lights. I did write that in the subject field but maybe that didn't show up. But I have been meaning to get HIDs myself, I find the standard ones very dull at times.

[TopCat]

...I find the standard ones very dull at times.

Found mine dull all the time.
I have the LED's fitted in my pre-facelift parking lights (on CJ's advice), and they compliment the HID's very nicely. €6 or something on ebay.
