thanx
il hav a look.
cheers mate
I've used demon-tweeks.co.uk for k and n induction kit and OMP strut brace.
If you're looking to change wheels, be VERY careful.
Wheels/tyres that fit say a phase 1, don't necessarily fit a phase 2, and vice versa. Later models had the arch lips rolled to make this less of an issue. What suspension is fitted too has a bearing - especially if lowered. You can get issues with tyres rubbing on the struts, or bolts which hold the bumper/spoiler.
If it is a turbo and you are considering a dumpvalve, forge do a good complete kit - www.forgemotorsport.co.uk - John Withers is your man to speak to.
Whatever you do consider doing, look for advice on the forum by doing a search first. Failing that, ask! Someone, somewhere, has almost definitely done the same before!!
All the best

rear rollbar, new springs, strut brace, lightweight wheels - you're sorted unless you wanna get messy in the engine bay
theee are two types of headlights one with black surrounds and one with silver.
And I've got 215/40/17's as well. I bought them with the car so I don't know the correct fitting
