Ok Fellas this is the deal...

I have done some minor mods to the car as you can see in my signature but nothing to serious. The reason this is, is because my car has only drive 5000km's and is still fresh.

Now my question to you all is..

Do I start the works and put a tune in etc.... OR do I purchase an xr8 bonnet & g6e style bootlid? I can only do one or the other at the moment. Should I wait to hit another 5000km's before I start doing any pef work?

So Performance or Style?

All help will be appreciated.

Cheers

I'd keep it a sleeper and spend your coin on mods under the hood..Get a tune and injectors and a new cooler if you have any spare cash...Soon as you start changing panels and shiney wheels the po po will be all over you... :icon_ford:

You boys with the Tunes..

What is your Fuel Usage like now ? I have the FGT as a company car and I am careful with Fuel, I only use the good stuff so if I go to the Petrol Station alot more then I may aswell buy a petrol station.

My economy around the city is about 14L/100 and that's with very short trips of 15 min to and from work and few squirts here and there. On the highway I can get around 8.9L at best. On factory tune around the city I could manage 12.5 or so.

Tune and injectors would be the best money spent I reckon.

I am 100% with Benny on this one!
