Got about £1000-£1300 to spend on my car... (Nice bonus from work!!) Car is pretty bog standard apart from these little things... (Its a 1995 1.4i LS)

Thinking about some new alloys (Hate my ET38 15's )
Done lowering, with new shocks etc..
Got a full stainless exhaust system.

No point doing anything with the engine... And i dont really want a full bodykit.

What do you guys think?

Ah cool, what did you think of them? (V-tuning and brakes!). Notice an increase in stopping power?

the brakes have 4 pistons applying pressure to stop the car instead of two small ones and should go as small as 14's at a push i think if not 15's
