Hello everyone this is my 1.2 16v in silver the only mods done so far consist of a full M-Design kit including a renault laguna splitter i think it looks smart at the moment but could use some ideas comment below what i should add

Probably a drivers licence if you're still on L plates ;-)

And probably sort out the other issues you've got, like that failed headlamp unit, before doing anything else.

Get the necessities, basic maintenance, servicing etc sort then worry about looking good.

Aye! Get the beast working properly first.. it's a pity to spend a load of moolah on it and then find out it fails its next MOT so you then have to find even more money.

Once the beast is ship-shape, the first thing to do is the wheels. since the body kit may make the regular wheels look a bit puny. You want 18" or more and slightly less offset so that they stick out a tiny bit more. Don't mess about with spacers... just buy the "correct" offset wheels.

Then your discs will look tiny and the calipers will look ****.. so you need to get the calipers painted at least and get some trick rotors. If you happen to win the lottery, look into what bigger calipers and discs will fit. Someone somewhere will have fitted brakes off an AMG Mercedes to their Stilo. You want something equally enormous.

Then you need a bigger exhaust with a twin pipes, DTM styley flick-up... ideally angled slightly towards the kerb rather than straight out the back... with a metal heat shield on the bumper.

That'll do.. because by now it will feel chronically slow and *nobody* (even a lottery winner) can make the 1.2 demon-fast. So you'll only want to fit accessories that you can lift to the 2.4 Abarth model that you'll want to replace it with..

thanks for the suggestions but as far as the car goes its in tip top condition already, just passed mot with flying colours only the fogs are on in this picture headlights are perfect and not even one light on the dash

 

[Artermis]

Come on kid.... the lens looks completely clouded over in the second pic and the moisture is visible in the first pic, so it certainly looks like ya headlight(s) has an issue.

At best it means the panel is missing or poorly fitted on the back of the light unit, allowing in moist air, or somewhere a seal has failed.

Doesn't matter... get some big rims and worry aboot the lights later.
