I Am Currently Thinking of Buying A Replica Amped Shark Fin Aerial Like The BMW M5 Because I don't have A Aerial, Also I Am Going To Buy A De-badged Plain Black Grill New LED Bulb For Behind The Dials And New White Dials. Anyone Other Ideas?

look at peoples project logs on here. most guys on here (including me) have some sort of budget so it should give you a rough idea of what you can do :)

i started off with some minor mods, mainly from a mechanical point of view, this included doing 1st off a full service, then progressed to cleaning the throttle body. after this i went about cleaning EGR valve. ive also added Blue LED to the clock and heater dials and even used reflective tape to help try and make them brighter. I still have to replace the bulbs behind the speedo's with Blue LEDs. i have a GSI spoiler i need to respray that i got for free off a mate. I bought a Tigra windscreen scuttle panel. other mods include, that i have yet to buy are, Aero windscreen wipers and i want to re-spray my wiper arms matt black to toutch them up. I Plan to sand back my grey trim and re-spray it colour coded untill i can find GSI skirts and Front Bumper. Final mods ive been planing this past week is to save up for, Timing Kit and Head Gasket Kit, new clutch, front brake disc, full suspension, strut brace, removing engine for full clean and re-seal and paint job.

The list goes on and on, best advice is to look over other peoples project logs to get ideas, but it all comes down to budget and what you can aford to mod. For myself my main concern is making sure my engine is running 100% nice and clean for peace of mind. its only a 1.2 16V but only has 55,000 miles after i know its looked after other mods can take effect like the suspsion and paint job.

Hope this helps.
