Hey guys,
I am always at home bored shitless so wanting to do some mods on my car.
I dont really wanna go spending money but will spend up to around $50.
I am looking at any sort of mods being interoir exterior or in the engine bay.
Hope so of you have some ideas and if you got any pics will be appreciated :D

Thanks Brad

cheap easy mods

Get some mad colored wiper blades the same color of ya car (cept if its white, i got em, can hardly keep my eyes on the road when they're going :p) get some leds for ya footwells and spend some time and hook em up to your interior light (don't jus hardwire em to the ignition like some lads do), do not cut out your rear resonator :p will just sound hollow and ****, check out ebay or the traiding post, try and find a good second hand catback if your not interrested in speding too much, remove your mudguards, buy some good wax, get some touch up paint and fix all the chips (if there is any), get led parkers and numberplate lights from china off ebay :p if you have a bumper strip on the side pull that off (ask me how if ya want) and get some chrome strip off ebay for it and get an air freshener. nothing better then hopping in a nice smelling car :)

Haha, i jus sold my old catback for cheap :p Well if its fugly then i guess its what im talking about :p its a long and annoying job but defiantly worth it in the end. and the parkers and number plate lights are easy. just pull out the headlights (or if your fiddly you can leave them in) and replace the wedge bulbs and same with the number plate lights. just have a fiddle around and you will work it out. oh and another one is give your carpet, mats and seats a good good clean :p
