Hehe, that's exactly what I'm trying to decide since I AM putting some money into it... I don't know what to prioritise.

Fit glass fibre bonnet and wings along with the bodykit parts I have - then get as much as possible towards spraying..

I'm surprised no-one gave you the right answer on this (well the right answer as i see it :wink:

)

The answer depends on weather 1)you've already modded the car a small bit 2) already modded a different car before but haven't started on the fto or 3) never modded anything before in you life.

For option 3 its a case of alloys and exhaust and filter and caliper paint and depending on which way your inclined neons of some sort.

for option 2 its probably lowering,brakes upgrade,stereo upgrade and engine gubbings (as you probably bought an fto with the alloys and exhaust done (and ripped of the neons :lol:

hehe))

For option 1 its simple...... it's not enough money come back when you can gift me at least €5k preferably €10k

I was just wondering what mods individual people would do with €2k they didn't know they were getting!

by **mcgon1979** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 9:45 am

bigger brakes. 17 inch rims. thats all.

bigger brakes and alloys??? You'd be lucky to see that with €2K, I bought brembo's before and that came in at 1200!!

There're some good deals to be had on Evo wheels, I'd say 2K would cover both... not much change though.
€1200 for Brembos :shock:

yep, in saying that, i got them about 3 years ago when there were very few about with the brembo upgrade, they were a serious upgrade, 330MM discs, 6 pot calipers, braided lines and all that jazz!! I think there's a cheaper one out there now, Wilwood iirc...

If I have 2K, I'd probably get alloys and a nice kit, some DC skirts, facelift bozz front, in saying that, you're looking at more like the 3K mark for that...

by **Bernard** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 11:56 am

I've brembos on mine but smaller ones, 316mm 4 pot.

Paintjob!

Paintjob How about PINK

by **Dragonheart** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 12:11 am

For 2K you'd be doing well I'd say to cover alloys and new tyres, my tyres alone cost me E750.

Or in some peoples cases pay next years insurance :lol:

(Didn't mean to put a dampner on the things!)
