And it's my first car as well . Daft newbie-type question here.

It's in good basic condition and is 3 years old, but I would like to make the best of it. Over the next year or so I'll have quite a bit of money to spend, so, the question is, what are the best things to do both to improve performance and appearance?

All thoughts (no matter how simple) are appreciated.

maybe a bodykit and spoilers would be nice, abarth do a quality front bumper, but not side skirts or rear bumber, novitec do a brilliant kit for the brava including rear spoiler and light conversions

novitec dont do the kit for the brava cos ive just ad a look

brava boy 4 life

they did last year!

99 Brava 100 HSX with not enough mods

post a pic so we can see it.

Induction kits are fairly cheap and easy to fit.
Gaiters and knobs/handles inside. Again cheap and easy to fit.

If you've got loose cash then a body kit and professional window tint.[8D][8D]
