Heres a few pics of my new GTI 180. Only had it a couple of weeks and its def the dogs nuts! I reckon its 100% standard so Im looking around to see what I can upgrade...any ideas?
From what Ive read its hard to get much more out the engine, so not sure where to start. Total 206 noob!

True
I think black or dark grey goes really well with it

Looks great as it is IMO, I'd refurb the alloys you have as they're the nicest you can have on a 180 but I'd leave them the standard colour to be 'different'. I've nothing against gloss black alloys apart from the fact that nearly everyone I know from a Citroen C2 to a 2010 Merc C63 AMG Replica has gloss black alloys!

Cheers for your thoughts guys. I wasnt planning anything drastic with it, maybe morettes, grills and wheels. Handles great already so I'm not gonna spend £500 on it to get extra 10bhp
