Had the car for about a month now and have fitted the majority of things I had on my to do list.
Creature comforts added like power fold mirrors via remote, de limited, alarm blip, auto lock above certain speed, traction control adjusted etc etc etc.
Purchased an Intravee and Alpine kca unit for my Ipod to be used with the factory fit sat nav unit.
Storm Motorwerks V1 gear knob, hand brake handle and sat nav control buttons.
New leather gaitors for handbrake and gear lever.
Smoked depo indicators.
Chrome exhaust trims.
Black side grilles

Intravee set up works a treat. Full use of steering controls still. For the money its unbeatable in my opinion.

Intravee is mounted above the cd changer in the boot, the kca421a is under the boot floor mat and the cable is then long enough to be rooted under the carpet, in threw the back of the centre armrest and then my Ipod is nestled in the fold back compartment.

New indicator units, should of been standard from the factory in my opinion

Exhaust tips, only cheap ones for now, as i'm finding it hard to accept paying £150 for the Eurostyle ones. Maybe ask for them as a xmas prezzie from the wife

Not interested in lowering her, it may well look a bit better, but i'm enjoying the comfort of the standard plus the luxury of not scraping the under side of the car on speed humps etc.

Things to do in the future are, wheel spacers, steering wheel retrim and the proper exhaust tips and thats it.

Mike.
