What do the power flex bushes do? how much was the manifold and what sort of performance increase does it give you on the 1.2?

Stick to 15" it suits the car better and handled better
2. lower 40mm on adjustable coilovers
I Had FK Silverline X with great results, make sure you get them set up properly
3. powerflex bushes (had gr8 results on my last car)
I also used these with great results. a bugger to fit though
4. carbon front strut brace (style and function)
Wont do anything for handling, i welded mine in to make it more functional but tbh didnt make that much difference

engine mods

1. k-tec 200 cell sports cat
Get a spare cat for it and cut it open and cut it for a home made decat, much much cheaper and better power gains
2. pro speed s/s exhaust system
I got a good gain from a cat-back low down in the rev range
3. modded airbox and k&n panel filter
I aso used this combo and it worked well
4. i have a modded 4-2-1 manifold made ages ago
5. ecu remap (i get them quite cheaply to help mods work together)
Worth while if their cheap like you say

brakes

1. uprated discs
Brembo max were great on mine
2. greenstuff fast road pads
Also fine for fast road use on a 1.2 16v
3. s/s braided brake line's

im not bothered about cost at all ! lol

exterior mods

1. 16 inch light wieght alloys wid sum super sticky road legal tyres 16s will look good but 15's will handle better.
2. lower 40mm on adjustable coilovers - if you go for coilovers make sure you have them set up properly
3. powerflex bushes (had gr8 results on my last car) - if you liekd the result then do it again
4. carbon front strut brace (style and function) - style but not function. They are all carbon 'look' and pretty shocking. Go for an OMP and make sure you bolt it on.

engine mods

1. k-tec 200 cell sports cat
2. pro speed s/s exhaust system
3. modded airbox and k&n panel filter
4. i have a modded 4-2-1 manifold made ages ago
5. ecu remap (i get them quite cheaply to help mods work together)
Personally would do none of this, would see very little gains.


brakes

1. uprated discs
2. greenstuff fast road pads
3. s/s braided brake line's
All sounds good

im not bothered about cost at all ! lol
