Already getting the itch to do something with my car 
Only had it 2 weeks and i'm loving driving it, especially the sound!
I'm having a look at getting some Speedline Turini's for it, only looked at Anthracite ones so far, anyone fancy doing a photoshop for me?  Any other ideas for wheels/lowering you think as well!
It's a crap photo but it's all i have of it so far until i've given it a proper clean!
Looking at doing the smaller charger pulley and a remap as well. Wouldn't mind some better seats in the front but they're a bit out of my price range so far!

If you do the pulley upgrade, do the intercooler too. Also as you have a standard 'S' it'l be a good idea to get cooler running spark plugs too.

Had a look around for intercoolers, don't really know what i'm looking for! Seany i think it is, told me about one, GRP maybe!?
What would these cooler running spark plugs be? I've already bought it some new Bosch Super Plus, haven't fitted them yet though.
Haven't found a Dave F airbox recently, seem hard to get hold of as i don't think he's making them anymore.
I'll take a look at the Eibach springs as well, not sure i want to go too much lower because of the road i have to go on to my lasses house
Cheers for the pointers though Rich! May also be asking you for some tips when i do the big clean as well if that's alright, hopefully this weekend.

GRS ( I have one of these) or the one fitted to the GP edition are the most common upgrades.

Iridium plugs iirc, not sure on specs etc, you'd need to check on MiniTorque - I've never really looked into this because mine already has them afaik as it's a JCW

Check MiniTorque classifieds regularly - wasn't that long ago that loads were available used!

Check my project thread, no idea where it is on here, but sure search will throw it up. Doesn't sit that much lower on them - mine's lowered on those springs though

No worries, drop me a PM whenever

Cheers Rich, i'll get researching! Your project thread just popped up via Google when i searched for Dave F airboxes
Most of the stuff you have done is where i want to go with mine really, a few little tweeks but keeping it mainly standard looking etc with all the comforts still there!

Yeah intercooler is a must with a pulley, a Dave f box, colder plugs and shorter belt needed also with the pulley but shoud come as a kit.
Aero grilles look good and Deffo some lows, ditch the s spokes too. Colour code headlight rings and black out the belt line.
Loads of options really
