What budget are you looking at, what's your style, do you like chrome, decals, "sporty", "classic"... Just trying to help you fire other people's imaginations.

Or..... a carbon front scoop with a ZIP roof decal. that'll look pretty mint. You don't see many zip roofs.

How about modifying the engine for performance rather than exterior?

If not - you can get a set of Aero Grilles for about £50 ~ £60 for starters.

You could always fit a Chrome Badgebar for next to nothing

Yeah i like the idea of the JCW engine upgrade but as im only running 17'' wheels the dealer told me that if i did fit it , it was recommended i also fit bigger brakes which wouldnt fit with the current wheel size and i would have to change up??????????

love the crome bar where can i get one??
