30mm lowering springs, tasteful stainless rear silencer. Done. One or two subtle mods will help keep chavviness at bay :)
 
Haha other than the sticker personally think these look well with higher/ newer spec parts. Facelift headlights (black surround I think), standard spoiler, the 15' multispoke alloys and little lower will change it a lot without looking chavvy
 
Right im gonna sound like the blonde hairdresser that i am here... will a silencer make my exhaust louder, like does it muffle the noise? as my brother reccomended cherry bomb but his is too loud! i dont mind a loud exhaust but his makes it look stupid ha!

Doesn't have to, cheap 'jap cans' and cherry bombs will make it a lot louder, but a proper exhaust place can fit pr supply you with one that will give you a silencer as loud or as quiet as you want (within what is physically possible of course, can only go so quiet :) )

Just tint them haha personal opinion a lot of it, I think they look smart coupled with other slight modifications
 
Haha the exhaust will sound standard from reading the ad :s just look shiny and nice haha. Depending on your budget maybe worth speaking to an exhaust place to either supply one or some make a custom one to suit your needs or wants :)

The window blinds (genuine) are fantastic, you can take them out if you get bored, and then just put them back when you want 'em again ;)
They pop up on ebay (used) every now and then, so keep looking
I got mine for about £30 all in (rear side windows and back window, 2 separate sellers)

i want either black or gunmetal grey im just struggling as to where to start!
i want a new exhaust backbox so its louder but not too loud, got some smoked vinyl wrap for rear lights which should arrive tomorrow considering window tinting the rear windows a garage near me is charging 80 for them doing but is it worth getting the tint myself? i also eventually want it lowered!

..and thanks! yeah i do shop there sometimes but i prefer to go to the whiterose as parkings better lol :)
 
Don't go too low, silly low is nice to look at, and scraping every where is funny for a while, but like a manual in a traffoc jam it can get tiresome after a while. 40-60mm drop is ideal I think :)

There's a set on ebay right now, starting at 99p
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-N..._Car_Interior_Accessories&hash=item3a9175cdc5

They pop up quite regularly, just keep an eye out.
I got my set for just over £30 all in (post included)
They were from 2 separate sellers about a week or so apart, the rear blind from one and the side pair from another.
Make sure you read listings thoroughly as the side ones for a 5 and 3 door are different. The rear is obviously the same ;)
