Title: What to do with the bonus????
Post by: snapey on February 18, 2009, 06:34:05 pm
Should be getting a bonus this month at work of around a K or so so what would you lot do with it?

The car is completely standard at the minute and I'm quite happy with the handing and breaking at the minute so think it leaves only the power side and wheels.

Opinions please and past experiences.

Thats what I've been thinking but not sure whether to go for a milltek first and work backwards sort of towards a stage 2.

Go for the full milltek before you get the REmap ! failing that perhaps a nice CAI kit ?

Revo stage 1, Intake and a TB exhaust.. If your clever about it you could do that for just over a grand.. Should see around 270BHP with that set up with a load of torque!!

As like Stokeballon, Cat back milly and some bigger brakes before you rank up the power.

Then you won't be happy with the brakes and handling so you can use your next bonus on those! :party: :party: :party:

Have been looking into getting it detailed in the future, I have access to all the kit but with it being a rotary and very little experience i'll end up shagging the paint, and the previous owners touch ups need blending in a lot more so it could be on the cards. Take it that you part time detail then JPC because I've come across a couple of posts on detailing world?

Thinking at the moment going for a non-res cat back then waiting a little and doing a bit more research on which company to go for etc.

As for the bonus not sure how but the company has managed a 10% growth on last night and the order books upto 55 billion of the top of my head so its all gravy :)

Rolls-Royce, not the cars lol.

How much on average would you look to charge for an entire paint correction?
