Maybe a new set of wheels and some tint and laminex:rollsmile:

Suppose it depends on what you want to do, performance or cosmetic ??

We've got the exact same model only in white.
I want to change the colour of the mags to Matte black or Gloss black. (Want to keep the wheels standard, change colour only)

Different bumpers perhaps?

Nice little cars, enjoy it!

I'd drop it, maybe coilovers, but that may be too much, but the added stiffness and control is a plus. I'd definitely do bigger mags on low profiles, not silver, maybe gloss black, more aggressive bumper, angel eyes and xenon retrofit... Get a GTR Carbon Bonnet, and aggressive exhaust.

Performance wise, you could go crazy... anything is possible, its all down to how much you want to spend. Could go Supercharger route, turbo route or even a bigger engine implant...

Before you start throwing money at it, try to figure out what your end goal is and how much you want to spend. If you want mainly cosmetic upgrades and small engine improvements, then it's all good. If you want some crazy power, then you might as well sell and start off with a 135i as a base.

Cosmetic there are many options as discussed, on the performance side 1st question is what 1 series is it ? 116, 118, 120, 120d 130 ?

Performance parts are in general not cheap. The bigger you wanna go the more expensive it would be.

Is it worth spending the xtra on modding say a 116 ? Might even be worth selling the car and take the money you would have spent on mods and buy a performance model and then work from there.
