Various decals
Electric aerial (with help from the zone, thanks guys)
Sony 10 disk cd changer in boot
New m tech numpber plates lol.
M tech gear knob.
New badges
Other stuff i cant rememebr for now..

Thanks to zoners who helped with advice on fitting kit and other things, and to daz for giving me a foglight relay. (they work perfect now!)

It already had..

Sony 4 way 200watt speakers in the tray,
Pioneer 100 watt speakers in the front,
Kenwood amp in the boot,
Sony minidisk head unit.

Heres the pics, please give me your opinions on it. Thanks.

The decal came from ebay, but it was a one off from the seller, not a dealer. They are die cut or something, so very good quality, other is on my windscreen! I will see if i can find some more and post a link.

Thanks.

Im not sure about alloys, i like the ones on there, and i put new centres on them, also newtyres. I would like some kahn or lenso rs5's in 17" when i have more money! Also after a stainless steel exhaust.

Car now has...

17" alloys (pics on the zone)
DTM twin 3" stainles exhaust,
New disks and pads,
New shocks,
New engine electrics (some),
Engine 'tune',
New bearings and bushes,
New steering parts to stop the 'give' in it.

And im pleased with it, it drives excellenly now, still needs lowering, but i have a very steep drive so its not realy pratical!! (could also do with a bit more under the bonnet but at 17 not possable

)
