Okay here goes, after abstaining from modding my car for all of about 2 days I better make a thread with my work so far and my future plans.

• MTech Short Shifter (Not yet fitted, waiting for good weather and work hours to permit)
• Pipercross Panel Filter

Future Mods

• TRC Splitter
• Paint front chrome black
• Black Badges
• CSR Light Brows (Need to obtain sport red paint)
• 207 GTI Seats
• Silver Indicator Bulbs

2 days! Well done!

Looks like a good list! Are you going to use plasti dip to cover the chrome grill?

Yeah, if I don't like it I can just jet wash it off :P

Once you start modding it`s like a snow ball that won`t stop rolling!

Have fun!

I would say that respraying gives the best look by far. For your CSR headlight covers, go to your local Citroen dealer and see what bodyshop they use - they should do resprays in all the official Citroen colours. For example, all the red on mine is Scarlett Red from the C1 range (because they had a red C1 outside at the time and I said that colour will do )

How are you getting on with the Pipercross panel filter? I'm looking at getting either that or a K&N one if it gives some extra BWAAAH noise or a noticeable change to driving.

I found a can of sport red touch up paint on ebay, I might give that a crack I think.

I had a K&N in my last car and I noticed much better throttle response, the pipercross has a much more noticeable sound than the k&n I'd say, but it's hard to compare between cars.
They are 2 very different types of filter though (Oiled vs not oiled, reusable vs disposable etc) but it's defo worth upgrading.

I like the fact that you made the sun only shine on your car in the first picture :cool:

You could take the wheel off and mask the sh*t out of the discs and wheel arches and spray. When I get round to mine I'm just gonna pay someone else because effort.

You will have to clean off all the brake dust as well.
Might just be easier to get a paintshop to do it and then they can match the colour to your bodywork as well. Think that's what I'm going to do eventually.
