Righty-ho! I believe i am reasonably finished with my little mods on the outside:
17" alloy wheels (Black kendo)
Back 3 windows limo black tinted
Pioneer AVH-P5900 dvd player
Vibe side door speakers
Fli 12" sub and amp
Blue footwell neons (not tacky looks the sh*t) (y)
Audi R8 style lights in the grille
HID xenons hi-low
and finally will be vinyling the front bumper and chrome around the grille

so that's the outside done. Now onto performance woohoo! :D

Yes i only have a 1.2 but im not after bloody 10mil bhp like some of you nutters have done with your 1.9 t-jet lol but i would like to increase to say 130BHP atleast :eek:

The only problem is i have looked at forge and they only seem to do 1.4 or higher for the grande (great :(). I looked at remapping but for the cost of it and increase it a lousy 8bhp is just pathetic and a waste of money if im honest.

Any suggestions would be great and please add links :D
 
55bhp per litre to atleast 110bhp per litre.
There's 2 ways to get that. A lottery win or a good nights sleep with plenty nice far fetched dreams.

Might be a better idea to stick to the neons and HIDs. because without a workshop and an engineering degree Your looking at a mission near impossible.
 
Not possible, ull get 10bhp max for about £500 lol, remap full stainless and induction,

not worth it, just get a cheap air filter, for that throaty engine sound, and if u like ur noise then get exhaust setup, try source a 2nd hand one or just buy a cheap backbox, dont pay £200+ for something that isnt going to do anything

Lol so I'm guessing by both comments there is no hope in heaven I will have higher than 90bhp :(
 
Anything is possible but it will cost you a load of money..more than the car is worth and your insurers will hammer you for a modded car (Yes! tell them or you'll be deep in S* and uninsured after an accident).

Sell it and buy a Bravo TJet
 
This is the thoughts I have of my 1.4 8v, wish it could hit around the 130bhp mark, not going to happen so the dreams live on, save the money spent for a T-JET, has that BHP as standard, looks stunning with all the gizmos lol
 
Il put on some of the pics i have atm of my baby (y)

















Well there she is what you think? Comments/ suggestions appreciated :D
 
lower, remove audi lights or put them in ur headlights, get a splitter and tint front window 50% ;)

WOH WOH WOOOOOH there! Audi lights are staying put!! even if i put them in my lights you wouldn't be able to see them, because of the HID's. That's my own touch and at night it looks the sh*t.

If i lowered it, when i go to sell it on, is it bait that it has actually been lowered? I was thinking about tinting the front windows but isnt that illegal? Oh well illegal schmegal il tint her some more (y) il look into a splitter dunno what that is lol.

Thanks for the post :)
 
its a plastic bit tht runs under ur front bumper, keep the original springs if ur worried about tht

Just saw a few pics of a splitter on andy's GP what is the point in that?? Its not even noticeable...
OK, im pretty good at DIY on my car is it a reasonable job changing the springs yourself or is it def a garage job?

to slightly increase your engine performance put some Denso Iridium spark plugs, a BMC or GSR induction, high octane fuel , maybe a remap and a full stainless exhaust and your power will grow around 15hp, but it will cost ya.

tested on dyno!

Put them by the foglights like in the new mercs, that'd look a lot better

Il look into the spark plugs, already looked at induction kits from gsr they don't do kits for 1.2L Cheers for the advice (y)
