I just struggled my way thorugh reading that
So you want us to spend your money??
Forget the bean can, its a waste of money! No performance gain and the 8v is loud anyhoot.
Drill the airbox, the rasping noise from the engine is great and it costs nothing to do.
Alloys.....if your on a budget pick up some second hand oem 16"s like ronal multi spokes of a 16v, refurb them in a new colour to be different.
With the money you have now saved not sticking tat to it you can go about getting a decent suspension kit.....and guess what im going to say?? Slam it!!!!!!!!
