Argh! What Do I do!

Just had my 24th birthday yesterday and I have a wad of cash to spend on my newly acquired Cooper S

Do I go for....

1) Window Tints + iPod Link

2) Sparco Evo Bucket seat + harness (on Lohen site) (Does anyone in the SouthWest have these? would love to see if I fit!

3) GTT Induction Kit (Will go for the GTT 210 at a later date)

4) Something else??

The ipod link would be nice but I think I've read a post here that's not that positive about it.
I can't remember who posted it but if you're thinking of an ipod doodah it may be a good idea to look for that particular item and read it before you buy.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for yesterday, by the way.

I'm a bit new to this Mini lark and I know nothing about cars...so I don't really know....but the GTT Induction Kit sound exciting?!

it depends what you want really?? looks , performance , sounds or just indulgance. I am surprised nobody has replied before now though , theres usually somebody with an opinion on here!!!

I definately wouldn't go for the bucket seat. I would think the tints and ipod would be the best option

I've got the gtt induction kit, it is good it increases the sound of the supercharger and does increase performance but it's not really noticeable. you will have to infrom your insuance company and they will probably increase your premium.

Have you thought about a lower strut brace? I got an omp one for £38 and then a couple of quid on bolts from the dealer. Takes about 10 mins to fit. It stiffens the front up a bit and makes the car handle better.

Crikey, nothing for hours then 7 replies in a few minutes

Thanks for the idea jkjn, I've already got the works front strut brace on and it's not too bad at the moment, my girlfriend bought me some KW springs to lower it a bit so I'll see what that does to the handling before adding anything to that department

Eventually I want them all! I think I'll go for the Window tints to start as I'm getting 20% off those

Thanks for opinions!
