Best mod you can make is a set of h&R coilovers mate. Wouldnt bother with changing the springs etc otherwise.

What do you plan on using it for?

Believe it or not you don't have to spend 700 notes on H&R's to improve it.

I've recently changed the springs for a second hand set of Eibach Pro's and its improved it massively, and it was darn good anyway...and it only cos me 75 quid.
If you aren't looking to spend a fortune and you aren't one of those people too bothered about the car being 'slammed' then Eibach springs (Pro's or Sportlines) are a good way to go.

A good panel filter such an ITG and maybe some subtle cosmetic changes such as Silvervision indicator bulbs and you are pretty much sorted.

Again its all down to personal preference and the size of your wallet!

been on ebay but dnt really hav a clue what im lookin 4 was thinkin bout lights but not sure wot kind kinda like the ones iv got!

If your not sure what to change but you want to change something, leave it as it is for a bit and then you may be inspired later on. My 172 is bog standard and I dont yet want to change anything cosmetic, dont want to look chavvy, may do a decent induction kit and pipes but thats it....

 

[wilson18]

Thanx for all the advice so far the only thing i hav done is painted my brake calipers blue!Which looks quite nice am also thinking bout getting my seats reupholstered so they are leather instead dont know how 2 go about this tho lol

Get an induction kit. We've got a group buy going for BMC efforts, cheap as well!

ill swap ure standard headlights for my xenons LOL

If you don't know what to do, keep it as it is until you get some inspiration. All I done when I first got my car was put some silvervision indicator bulbs in and changed to white led sidelights so they match the xenons. If you want to update the interior a bit, could always go for some recaros - although a bit pricey!
