OK, this is really simple, it all depends on how much cash you've got. Above all if you're a new driver worry about paying the insurance in the first year. Beyond that, look for a clean car, no point modding anything that's rusting.

Rust - look at the rear arches, rear corners of the boot floor, front suspection turrets, under the battery and behind the headlights. If that's OK then it might be a good one.

first is brakes, they're crap to start with so spend your first spare cash on new ones, several places to get them, including myself :wink: Get the car safe first before any engine mods, tho air filter (panel not cone) and exhaust won't make any differance - no BHP gains there.

Now sort the small rust spots unless you have cash for a total respray, bodykits are extreme and will cost as much to get fitted as they cost to buy. If you do it yourself then take a lot of time to get it right.

ICE - buy some sound deadening for the doors and quarter panels

Body kit - anything upto ?500 for front and rear bumpers and sideskirts
Lowered suspension - about ?200 for the full kit (springs and shocks)
Alloys - for 15's about ?500-?700
ICE - u can buy my stuff, 2 12" subs, sub box and amp for ?330
Sound deadening - well worth doing, ?10 a roll, prob need 2 rolls.

If ur a new driver do little mods that wont affect ur insurance as they dont like young drivers with a modded car, unless ur willing to pay a bit for it.

Loads of people on here will help u, where abouts u from?
