Coilovers - people like KW, but VMaxx are good too, as are Jamex if you can find someone who knows what they're selling. Remaps, well, anyone local I guess! I could do it but you're better off staying local. Exhausts - Blue Flame, Jetex, Piper - all are good, and vary in price. I do the Blueflames pretty cheap.

| Re: New VRS owner I'd give it a thorough service and check over before i started spending money on tuning. Give her some intensive TLC, then splash out on the above mentioned stuff. It's pretty awesome standard to be honest though! I've pushed mine pretty hard and she loves it!!

| Re: New VRS owner Most of us find Powerbulbs very good for uprated headlights. I got 4x 50% brighter H4s, and 2 Philips "blue white" sidelight bulbs for £20 delivered. Even the sidelight bulbs were worth having (much whiter light than a standard sidelight bulb, never mind the "black glass" effect on the originals that I took out. |
