Default Cheap Mod's

Hi guys was just wandering what other cheap mods I could do to my C30, Ive currently had the wheels gloss black and had the calipers painted red, also tinted the windows and all that jazz.

Ive also done some stuff to the engine such as remap etc but just looking to do some more exterior changes.

Was wandering what other little features people have done to their cars to give it that extra somethang!

I've De-tangoed the rear lights and in the process of side repeaters and front headlights.

I've gone for quality Osram Diadem Chrome bulbs and it looks subtle but awesome!
