    Welcome to the forum Amy. When you say, 'upgrade', what do you mean? Engine performance? Bodywork styling? Alloys? Interior trim? Stereo system? What budget do you have?

    Well the interior I'm pretty much happy with apart from wanting to change seats for leather or half leather ones!, I have had the windows tinted, upgraded the stereo unit for a touchscreen computer, had wind deflectors put on, made my lights bright white cause I hated the yellow. I would like to do abit more bodywork styling and also change my alloys for maybe 1 size or 2 bigger, I just want to give it a little more edge, I don't really know much on how to do the part installing but I'm willing to learn and accept the assistance if someone would help me, I don't really have a budget but if I can get parts cheap even being second hand that would be great, everyone loves a good bargain after all!
