Prospective mods- Yay or Nay?

Unknownsoldier · 26th November 2007, 12:59

Hi Everyone,

I've been thinking of some 'cheap' and not so cheap mods for my car with a view to doing them over the next few years......

Type R rear light kit,
Type R rear spoiler,
Colour coding front middle grill - NHB of course!,
Colour coding all bodywork bits,
HID upgrade from a 5 door - complete lot, not some ebay knock-off,
DVD player in the glove box,
Supercharger kit - I really want this ,
Reversing camera,
Blue lights - but only if I pass the test [hehehehehe],
"Garage Door Opener"
And maybe some other bits when I think of them.

Thoughts guys?? On how they'd look, fit, or any potential problems?

All the best,
Tom

Now thats a impressive list of mods . Iam looking forward to the pics

They are denedant on three things:

Money,
Insurance,
Money

(They will be done over a few years, if they get done....Some sound pretty difficult).

I would colour code first. I did my mini it so changes the whole look of the car.

TTDegs · 26th November 2007, 15:13

they all get my vote

(subject to you having a garage obviously

)

Unknownsoldier · 26th November 2007, 15:26

I've got one but it's full of crap right now....

Tom

illegalhunter · 26th November 2007, 15:51

sell it all to pay for the mods

Unknownsoldier · 26th November 2007, 16:25

I don't think it's worth much (may sell a few medals though

).

Type R rear light kit, - Not worth it
Type R rear spoiler, - yes
Colour coding front middle grill - NHB of course!, -yes
Colour coding all bodywork bits, -yes
HID upgrade from a 5 door - complete lot, not some ebay knock-off, - it will cost a fortune and take ages to fit - upgrade bulbs almost as good and a fraction of the cost.
DVD player in the glove box, - portable plug in DVD player for £100 ?
Supercharger kit - I really want this , - Wow, but fit it to a type R
Reversing camera, - a gadget , not for me
Blue lights - but only if I pass the test [hehehehehe], - on the roof ?
"Garage Door Opener" - poser
And maybe some other bits when I think of them.

Yes!

"Garage Door Opener"

- One of "those" garage door openers

I think garage door opener - or at least im hoping means something else -
if it does mean what i think it means - then look forward to the install pictures if you get around to it at any point.

Unknownsoldier · 27th November 2007, 12:16

As I have electric gates so I should legally be allowed one. I know some unscrupulous people use them for other things.........

Tom

Unknownsoldier · 27th November 2007, 12:17

DVD player in the glove box, - portable plug in DVD player for £100 ?

A DVD in the glove box which will play through the screen.

I fitted a garage door opener a couple of weeks ago...always wanted one...should've got one years ago!! best thing I ever did. they're on offer at B&Q...from £82..
B&Q Online: From Kitchens & Bathrooms to Sheds & Paving; plus planning tools
I got the quieter belt driven model @ £131. Fitting looks a bit daunting at first, but take your time...read the manual...it's a doddle. 2 remotes... I keep one on the sun visor...opens the door from 100 yards away. dead chuffed!

The Phantom · 27th November 2007, 12:47

I wouldn't bother with the Type R rear lights on a NHB car. The red standard ones really suit that colour.

Other than that, all sounds pretty good.

DeanFYoung · 27th November 2007, 14:18

Someone on here has got a really smart front & rear splitter in a gloss black - that looks pretty good....
