Now im in 2 minds when it come to leaving my car stock when it comes or doin little mod here and there so put it to the vote time.

The mods im thinking of are:
Vinyl front
Cupra splitter
Black alloy wheels
Wheels spacers 15mm each side
Lowering springs
Gsr induction kit
Sporting side skirts and a
Exhaust of some type

As you can see from my sig im getting a white GP model also take into consideration im only 17 and this is my first car. so let me no what you think

Cheers David

haha cool, just make sure your insurance know about the mods, otherwise the insurance will be void if you crash! the wait kills you doesnt it, i was so impatient i took one that was sat at the factory pre-made instead of waiting 3 months for it in the colour i wanted haha. wel happy with mine, great car!

u on your own insurance or named driver?
 
If you are going for 15mm spacers you will need Hubcentric spacers and they arent too cheap about £60 for a pair i think and then you will need to buy longer bolts.
 
yea thats what might hold em back aswell the insurance and yea will be once it arrives. im not too bad right now with the wait but like the week or so after i ordered it it was killing me lol

is it easy to get longer bolts?

must be costin u a bit on your own insurance? ahh it killed me even waiting 3 weeks for mine to be shipped from the factory! then they rang me and said its at the dealership and i had to wait another 4 days! whilst it was sat there, so frustrating lol. wil be ace when you get it tho!

back to topic of post, get it modded when it arrives, you want it to stand out!

You can get away with the vinyl and the splitter but i think you would definitely have to tell the insurance about the rest. Also gloss black alloys look really good on the white GP! Anyway how can you afford all this being only 17?? lol
 
the actualy insurance company is zennith and i think young marmalade have some kind of deal with them.I have read through some documents and from what i have seen there is nothing saying you cant mod it but there is also nothing saying you can at a cost

Don't waste your money. Just enjoy your car as it is supplied. If, later, you become bored with it then perhaps consider doing some of your mods. My white GP 1.9 Sporting is completely standard yet looks great next to anything in the car park. Personally I think that money spent on enhancing bodywork is money down the drain!
 
Yes but his is a GP not a Sporting, so it doesn't have big alloys, skirts and a spoiler like yours.
 
personally I would first vinyl the front, add the splitter, paint the brake callipers and get a remap with induction and possibly lower it. Problem is I doubt your insurance will allow the remap/induction and the lowering.
