Just like to know what you guys think and what some good engine mods would be. Was thinking c.a.i. then rockers and exhaust, and touching up the rear bumperettes with some paint, let me know. :)

99' Series 3 VS S-Pac Ute.
Nice VS ute mate, rims suit it really well.
Does need a bit of a touch up in some areas around the back, as you mentioned. As for basic engine mods, considering it's a six I wouldn't go too hard on it. I have SS CAI and extractors on my ute with a full exhaust. It has livened it up a bit but don't expect drastic changes!

Yeah looks sweet with the wheels n door handles painted
As said before, clear side indicators and get rid of the stripe on the front bumper
Does look better with hooks off but if u use them then keep them
