Bungee cord between the luggage hooks in the boot to hold things in place.

Certainly not a cheap or easy mod but *really* worth it.

If I have enough time and money I'll think about doing it to my next car too.

not to be a kill joy or anything but be careful with the jammer. my friend just bought a car a few months ago and didn't know it had a jammer fitted to it until he went past a speed van at legal speeds and then an hour later had a visit at home from the local police. he's on bail at the minute awaiting a court appearance. to says he's shocked isn't the word!

Not forgetting, by the time your "jammer" detects the radar signature and activates ... you've already been caught.

For me ... its a tossup between the replacement head unit, and the Intrax RSA suspension ...

Default not on this car but

best mod i done on one i had car was a stainless steel exhaust.

a lot of mods cost a lot of money and add very little value if any.

if you intend keeping a car for a long time then a stainless exhaust when replacing an old one is money very well spent.
