For more power: Remap or abarth turbo conversion for a start, though not sure how much the latter would set you back.

Handling: Eibach sportlines FTW

And yes black wheels on white car would look very nice mate.

Re: £450 what mods to do??

Its a modification It depends on how your dealership is, mine were ok with the car being modified and would still put warrenty claims in. However, some might be more cautious with it. At the end of the day, if the remap directly affects part of the car, you will be hard pushed to get it covered properly.

Welcome back Matt. Banned, or just hated us for a while?
