Hey Guys this is my new car after selling my EL GLI to my old man. Got it for $1100 and i have spent $6600 on it so far (have set myself $10000 including buying the car)

What the car has had done :

Extractors
FG XR6 Turbo Rims
CD Player with USB and Remote
Split system speakers in front
Dual Fuel
Sports Exhaust
Performance Plug leads
BA Air Intake Mouth
K&N Air filter Mat

Please let me know what you think and what else you think i should do (in the budget i have left)
Thanks :)

Pretty easily if he paid retail for everything, but yes, $10k does buy a hell of a lot more car these days! :grin:

Dunno man, even if retail thats a shitload of coin. Maybe labour included?

maybe some lower springs and new shocks? would make a nice cruzer mate & looks in very good nick :mrgreen: & re-spray the dull and faded window surrounds etc. made a huge improvment to the appearance of my EF.

Looking good mate, but what's with the wheel nuts? Maybe invest a few $$ on some smaller ones? Little details like that can go a long way :)

Nice Car :
It's about the <3 not the $$.
You have done everything I want to do to my EL, so it is good to see what I might be able to achieve.
Keep up the good work.
