HELP!!! what do i do?

[butcha]

hiya. ive managed to scrape together £300 (im a student) and now want to spend the lot

ive got a few options.

1) get tints and immobiliser fitted
2) new headunit
3) lower 40mm, and get new exhaust
4) get some alloys

what do u guys reckon? cheers.

get some alloys change the look of the car totaly then go for the lowering 40mm that what i done anyway and now working on getting some kinda bumper

Front anti roll bar, lower it, and a strut brace.
Then it'll handle like you wouldn't think possible.
It's stealth mods too, won't attract too much attention.

what car do u have?

 

[butcha]

got a cinq s 899cc

 

[hippycinq]

what spec is that as standard? are the bumpers colour coded or not?

if so.. i would agree that wheels and lowering is the best way to go.. although im not sure you could do both for 300 quid.. depends what wheels u want and whether they're new or 2nd hand.

My springs cost about 60 quid, they were the cheapest i found, made by apex. the first set of wheels i had were 14" BK850s, they cost 450 as far as i can remember.

ffwd's ad in max power is a good place to look.. they do direct replacement 13" wheels (so u dont have to buy new tyres) for 275. theyre fox evo 1 and 2..

sorry this is such a long post.. the thought of someone modding their cinq sets me raving about what u could buy..

is this the first of many spends or is this the one and only time ur planning to spend out on the car?

 

[butcha]

nah the bumpers aren't colour coded[!]

yer i didnt think i'd b able to do both for 300 but i have been lookin for some 2nd hand 1's if any1 sellin any!

this is to b the first of many spends on the cinq! first major 1 was the ICE now goin towards the looks of the cinq.

any other suggestions any1?

get some second hand wheels for about 200 then get it lowered.

fixitagain i tried fitting my strut brace again yesterday. i took the ecu housing completely off and the expansion tank to get it off but my k and n didnt fit on!!

momo. i spoke to centoevo about it he had the same problem. short of making some kind of extension to go between the filter and the throttle body i dunno what to do. seems a hell of a lot of trouble to fit a strut brace! demon tweeks told me it would fit over the k and n so i might call and complain

OMP ones fit past a K&N, see if they'd exchange it?
