First post, I'm completely new to this forum :)

I've got a Mk7 1.25 Zetec...not going to try and tune it, theres no point, just want to concentrate on looks and handling/driveability! (also if i could increase MPG that would be good, I drive ALOT)

I'm not really a massive fan of aftermarket parts, want to keep it looking like stock/clean cut! (ish)

A few things I've done so far:

Rear Window Tints
16" Zetec S Alloys
Samco Induction Hose
K & N Panel Filter
Osram Nightbreaker Plus Headlights
Red Interior Lighting (3xT-10 Sidelight Bulbs)

What next?

I'm thinking...

Eibach Pro Spring Kit 30/45mm?
Denso Iridium Plugs?

Any advice/ideas would be great...

I'll get some pictures up by the end of the week...need to actually put the wheels on ha!

A diesel 1.25...that'll be a fun ride! :)

I'm not sure about an exhaust...I quite like not seeing it at all...as it would have to be aftermarket, not sure how it would work with insurance either! Do you think it's possible to buy just the Zetec S valance rather than the whole rear bumper, think they look a bit more sporty/smarter! Been searching Ebay...but no luck!
