Well young John congratulations on your first car. Au fairmont is a nice pick up. Leather premuim VCT is a great start. I can just see how it could look in the future. Mmm dumped 17inch tickfords bodykit momo wheel exhaust and of course it being white will get a make over from Martin. Good luck John i look forward seeing this car evolve into a cool machine. Cheers

I need opinions that I have a problem with, well as most will know I'm still at school studying and work every so often. Now the problem I have is that I'm probaly only going to be able to purchase 1 mod every 2-3 months.

I want to know what I should purchase first,
Option 1: Rims & Lowered
Option 2: TS50 Bodykit & Tint


Your help would be much appreciated

Go the Rims & Lowering. I went the other way at first and always wished that I had gone the wheels first.
