If its a Fabia

1. Eibach springs
2. Find yourself a good second hand set of 312mm brakes

Have a search on both subjects.

And welcome.

Indeed, put some miles on it, get used to it, then when it comes to modding it will feel so much more satisfying and you will have a good judgment of how it feels before and after

Above all welcome

I would recommend getting a green cotton air filter, cupra intake pipe before going for a remap as it has better results.

Other than that (depending how big you budget is)

*milltek exhaust
* Wheels
* Eibachs
* Strut brace

NOTE:- Strut brace and intake can be taken stright from a seat ibiza cupra. Can be ordered directly from seat dealer.

Alex

P.S Anyone have any idea of what audible difference obtained from a green cotton and intake?

Hello and welcome!

Keep it standard, it will be worth more as it will be the only one not mod'd

Have a search in the Fabia Forum for more info. Give it time to let the engine bed in. After that it depends on how big your pockets are
