What to Buy?

So,

I'm doing a medical study, can't beat a bit of lab ratting! Decided to spend a few quid of it on the car, sadly not all of it as I need to save for a house but about £500.

ATM I'm thinking race battery & CF bonnet. Or possibly some 11:1 pistons, problem with the pistons being that I can't afford to get the pistons installed and the car tuned...

Any other suggestions on what to buy?

As your car is silver I think CF bonnet would look very cool. An if you can stretch then CF boot lid will finish it off nicely as well, Imo.

If I don't get the battery could probably stretch to bonnet & boot

Good thinking nit

i wouldn't advice the battery for a daily, as long as your car is all fine and dandy then they are great for a race/track car but the minute that freezing cold morning comes and you have the slightest of problems with the car you'l be reaching for the jump leads, great for what they're designed for but not so good on a daily.

and how the hell can a man who makes cf products even think of buying a cf bonnet. buy the pistons and stick them on the sideboard as the most expensive ornament your mrs is ever likely to get until you have your next testicle removed and can afford the fitting.

Or do what I do and save for longer to get the job done properly, with performance being the priority

what pistons are you thinking

type s I think. Spoke to PAW about it and putting mahle's in isn't a straight swap whereas the type s pistons can be
