New here, wanting some tips!

Hi All,

I'm new here and just wanted to say hi, and show off the love of my life
She's a 2013 MCS in Chilli Red, with 28k miles.
I have done a couple of things to it since I bought it, like plasti dipping the wheels, and de-chroming it with wrap.
I am hopefully looking to do a few more things to it soon, and was wondering if anyone had any advice? I am on a budget so please keep that in mind
1) lowering springs
2) resonator delete/ cat-back exhaust
3) short shifter
4) sway bars
and in the future:
5) wheels/tires
6) intercooler/intake
7) tune


Thanks!

Good looking car. My tip would be that you make sure you have a tight, maintained engine before you sink a lot of money in mods. A compression test and a leak down test may be worth their weight in gold.

Welcome

Let us know if we can help make recommendations for the mods you want as those are all common mods with many options.
