Most of the other mods I would suggest have already been mentioned. A nice quick / cheap one is to switch the internal bulbs for LED ones. It just makes it look a bit crisper in the cabin.

Can't believe anyone hasn't mentioned this yet but you REALLY need to get rid of that whippy aerial - it completely ruins the car!

If you need some foam for the sound generator I have mine that I took out...I'm not going to put it back in as I don't mind the sound and I've ruined my ears from the years of clubbing + I'm not old.
I had read little bits and pieces about interior LED bulbs, is it easy enough to find how many and what sizes?

I was thinking that I forgot to mention I was planning to get a stubby aerial! Plus I have got new ice white sidelights and headlights to fit.

Would be happy to take some foam off your hands, thanks very much. :thumbsup:
Where are you based? I can cover postage costs if you're not local?

If you're wondering about what bulbs etc, my mod thread has info here: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=92865

Happy to ship the foam out and cover postage cost (it should only be a quid or so) Do you want both pieces? I'm in Halifax so not too far away. I'm going to be at a Z4 / BMW meet in October that is over your way...maybe you want to join us? - A bit of info here: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=99705 if you can't make it PM me your address and I'll happily ship.

Interested to hear about your new headlights - its the one thing I'm desperate to do but not sure what to get or where to go. :thumbsup:

Will have a look at that bulbs thread and think about the meet as that is not far from me. It is normal to bring the missus along to these things? Is it pretty much a meet in a car park and then drive around in a convoy?

Sorry to burst your bubble but I meant new headlight bulbs! I did look into some new headlights though, they were an angel eye type with a black housing. Quite a few styles on eBay and mstyle. My only concern is around it looking a bit boy ricer!

Will PM you about the foam, not in a rush though as I am on holiday all next week.

"Very" nearly bought this same car. Sat in the office to do the deal before it fell apart over the service history. :(
Guess they sorted it before you bought it.
