Wave Modifying help?!

Hey guys, am new and proud owner of 1999 156 2.4 JTD (before face lift)..I'd like to start modifying the car...where should one start? I am capable of installing a fully working sound system, including subs n amp so thats not a problem... Just installed 2x10" (1000w each) Infinity subs boxed + Infinity Reference Amp 1400w Peak. Sounds orgasmic lol.

Just unsure of where to start modding this baby up from? What is the norm in which to start modifying it from. I don't want that bady boy bling look, but not to subtle either. Something sleek and sexy! Can anybody recommend any ideas please?

Also, good alloys and/or website which advertise nice alloys!

Please feel free to post links up with pictures of nice alloys! I am looking in the 17"-18" and haven't a clue what'll look good etc. Also...by having low profile tyres, will that reduce the handling of my car?

Thanks!

Re: Modifying help?!

the best thing you can do, is search the images thread for pics of other people''s cars, and decide for yourself. also, search/browse for threads on suspension, airfilters, remapping and exhausts.

look up red dot racing, not far from you, drive there at a pace, ask them to work there magic, then drive home twice as fast as you got there and with a big smile on your face.
Who needs a stereo when you could spend 250quid on going fast and sounding nice with a turbo and a 5pot engine?
