Coilovers and twin headlights.
Best improvements I have had done to my car are the BMC CDA air filter to sort out the crappy K&N sucking in hot air that was fitted to the car when I got it. Tarox G88 disks and pads all round to replace standard worn items (you need to stop). Chip that added a few BHP and got the best out of Magnex exhaust (already fitted on car) and BMC and made the car a hell of a lot more drivable throughout rev range.
Last mod and also good was getting FK Automotive non adjustable (Highsport) coilovers which lowered the car and made it handle better, especially as old shocks were 8 years old.
Spend money on getting the car how u want it and how it was handling wise when it came out the factory i.e. replace anything worn.
Its no good spending all your money on one thing as power is nothing without the handling or brakes to fully use it.
Styling for a grand is not really an option unless the bulk goes on wheels. No higher than 16" otherwise handling and ride quality will suffer.
Sort out the ICE if you spend quality time in the car and havent already. Only if you like your tunes of course.
clio 20v
repeat a thousand times- i must not put a bodykit on a valver
then go buy a set of 16s and coilovers, much more fun than a bodykit

The best VFM mod Ive done is a de-cat. I dont know how much bhp etc it adds and Im not that concerned with that really, because on the F7P/R engines this mod will allow you to spit flames/plooms of black soot when youre ragging it. £45 well spent.
My personal opinion is that 16v/Willys dont need any body mods at all. Group A-derived wide arches and bonnet bulge are enough for me! Maybe a touch of colour coding?
if it were my car i would get some re-grinds off Bondy, while the head is off i would get the casting marks removed and polished and the stage 2 hill power chip and you will have 170BHP, but then its not my car (anymore
)please no bodykits!! coilovers yes but the suspension is all new OE and it would be a crying shame to bin the lot.
wheels? what and attract attention to your self and spoil the handeling? if you want attention then floor it the noise will be enough!
Happy Motoring
thats not the point carlo-it luks the bollox while u own it is the whole point
