White Autodelta side indicators, which look nice but are quite fragile, one side now being "secured" with blue-tack after one retaining lug snapped off.

Autodelta aluminium radio aerial, looks nice but does little for radio reception. Make sure you specify the right diameter thread if you buy one, as there are 2 sizes.

K+N air filter, which is fairly easy to fit and may have a slightly beneficial effect on engine note and power output, although this may be psychological self-delusion.

Alfa Romeo stainless steel sill scuff plates, which fit easily and look nice, but don't drive with your doors open whilst admiring them.

Ecotek CB26P, which did nothing I could detect apart from making an embarassing tone-deaf owl noise whilst driving on a trailing throttle - not recommended. Now removed: don't be tempted.

Next up is an Autodelta "easy to fit - bolts straight on!" (oh, good) strut brace: another candidate for self-delusion, I expect. And, later, some 17" alloy wheels to replace my 16" ones - stop s******ing at the back.

And I love it.

56 weeks into ownership. Cursed the car for the first week, tried to sell it - would've lost £5k so....... Not missed a beat since so glad I kept it, only 'mod' was to fit black side indicators, though stupidly expensive from AO. Next mod will be to chop it for a GTA Selespeed if it ever appears.....

Tempted to fit FM signal booster as the Connect Nav + unit is not very good
