    Hi and welcome to the club and forum. Great looking DS3. Mods wise, it's depends on how far you want to go. You can do cosmetic mods, like club stickers, decals, wind deflectors, aftermarket grilles, splitters and alloys, all the way up to performance enhancing mods, like remaps, aftermarket air filters, exhausts etc. The good thing about these cars is that you can do as much or as little as you want.

    Take a look at the work in progress threads or the pictures threads for ideas. Happy DS3'ing.

            If I was you, get a club sticker and wear it proud!

              Performance wise, you could start with replacing the OEM panel air filter with a K&N or Pipercross. Gives you a couple of extra bhp possibly, but more of a smooth acceleration. Then you could replace the exhaust with a custom stainless steel one, not cheap, but more likely to last a lot longer. A custom remap from our resident DS3 remap wizard Jamie at SP Tuning is the best way to get good performance gains on your eHDi 90. Loads of members go to Jamie, as he knows ALOT about these cars and is a top bloke too. Check out his website here:

              and your performance gains are shown here:

                  There are a few threads already on the forum. You can use the search function to find them, but here's one example:

                    Personally would go for eibach lowering springs as they are reasonably cheap around £200 plus fitting
                    Could go for coilovers, but think they are overpriced for what they are- nice pieces of kit though, but who ever messes with the ride height?

                      I've got the eibach on mine. Gives a sportier look and feel, but I only got 10mm rear and 25mm front drop... Fine for me because that's what I wanted, but a lot of people want greater drops (30-40mm).

                        Yes, I had these fitted by James SPT on one of my Red THP's. They could go lower, but that's more for track use and grip to be fair
