Saved a little bit of cash - what to spend it on?
Should I:
a) Spend it on Coilovers & general front end rebuild goodies
b) Spend it on a nice new exhaust & fanimold?
c) Spend it on the little bits of bodywork the car needs?
d) Save it and put it towards the bodywork, along with a respray, at a later date?
Can't decide. I know d is the responsible option, but meh :dontknow:
Other ideas more than welcome

alternatively save it and spend it on your other half! buy something nice for them and get something nice in return

Bodywork, all the mods in the world won't help if your car falls to bits![]()
Yup, I'm thinking along these lines, probably option D. Though I have had another non-vehicle related idea, which if it works may leave me with more dollar than I started with*. But all it's done has confuse me more.

The coilovers I wanted appear to have gone up in price too, which is an arse :x

I was gonna splash out and get some FK Konigsports for the damping adjustable loveliness, as I don't think I'd get my girlfriend anywhere near the car with bone jarring hottuning jobbies, which would be the other cheap alternative

I'd repair a bit of the body work and get a nice stainless exhaust with a good sound. Then you'll have a more solid car, and exhaust that you will never have to worry about, and every time you get in it you will love it more when you plant your foot - even if it doesn't actually make it go faster.
Eiback springs and koni adj shocks if and when the budget stretches.
But it is your chioce at the end of the day………..
Enjoy.
