£40-50 to spend

I've got about £40-50 I'd like to spend on making my MK2 Sporting look a little more.. individual..

Not blatant, but something to make it stand out from the rest on closer inspection..

Any ideas..?

I've currently got bright white bulbs, chrome style side repeaters, and an aftermarket PowerFlow exhaust system.

just a case of getting the tint spray from the likes of halfords really, rubbing down and spraying.

Re: £40-50 to spend

well £50 is not alot, but its enough to tint the windows your self (only side ones, rear ones too hard), tint the rear lights, and some colour coding, and id spray the alloys white but thats me

Re: £40-50 to spend

rear window on a mk2 is easy enough, its pretty flat and the tint take to it easily enough.,
why not keep the money and save for something better like getting it lowered or a decen sound system or something.,

Re: £40-50 to spend

ah forgot to say - debadge the boot. although on the tiziano red it may be faded around the badges, but the paint which is behind them will still be bright. depends on the age of the car, and where it's stored of course.

Re: £40-50 to spend

See, while this isn't a cosmetic mod i'd suggest maybe some fully synthetic oil and a plug and filter change, if you do it yourself (not hard) you'd be under budget and may get a bit of a performance increase and prolong your cars usefulness.....any body mods for less than 50 quids will look a bit half-baked save up a bit more 1st

Re: £40-50 to spend

it's already a sporting so presumably would have the spoiler?
