Best mod by far is also one of the easiest. Get some Bosch or Valeo (not cheapies!) flat wiper blades on the car. Instant massive improvement :D

Greetings, and an immediate poke in the eye for writing yourself off as "old" at 41 :frown: My dad's 76 and still doesn't like the way everyone tells him he's old...

Ok mods. Depends on your wallet really. A remap would be good, as would a leather interior, but if you've no got much of your pension left over from buying carpet slippers... :P
