best modification

[grahamwatson]

I have recently spent much more time than I care to admit reading through the last 200 or so pages of this forum. Loads and loads of good stuff as I bring a 4 door 122S back on to the road, but I thought this thread was the most interesting and worth a bump after 6 years to see if anybody has found some other good mods during that time.

For me, the metal tape upgrade to the rear light cluster (and the front side lights/indicators) is the best punch per buck. Cheap, easy and you can see exactly how much of an improvement by comparing after doing just one side. The perfect mod!

Thanks for bringing this forward.
As I have only been looking closely at the forum for the last 3 years I had not read this thread.
The indicator and rear lights brightener idea with the silver tape sounds good. Will look at this.
The various upgrades on suspension are a real benefit.
I like the 123 Ignition if one is going for an engine re-build with fast cam etc.
Have yet to change tyres, but think this will help road manners.
If the car has an existing sunroof, a rebuilt Webasto is great in the summer, particularly if touring. Mine does not drip even in torrential rain.
Ideally disc brakes would be nice all round; today we are very used to much more powerful brakes, and other road users can be thoughtless idiots.
Make sure one to have open drainage holes in ones car; no benefit to carry stale rainwater to rot ones carriage!

Is highly reflective chrome adhesive tape available in the UK?

I used tin foil in my rear lights-brightened them up a bit.

try this, more reflective than the heating tape.
