Default New C30 2.0 R-Design has landed!

So finally but the bullet in one of these, with a T5 in my future also I expect.

Lovely car, but do want to pimp it a bit. I’m thinking front splitter, new brakes and exhaust, headlight upgrades, engine remap and some other cosmetic updates.

Not sure if this is the right forum for advice in doing this kind of stuff, but I’m struggling to find “how to” guides online and where to pick up aftermarket bits.

Any advice out there?

Pic of car attached.

Thanks

Looks good. Kept it the way it is. If your looking at a T5 in the future, don’t waste money on changing anything on this one as its will be putting money down the drain. Put it in savings for the T5. Plus if you carry out mods, it will be worth less when you come to sell it.
