You're only modding options for the next 3 years will be PPP, assuming you want to retain your warranty. (Again assuming it's a UK car with a 3 year warranty).
If you aren't concerned about the warranty, try:
After that you could go for:
)
For styling, change the ironing board rear spoiler if you have one fitted as standard. Get rid of the stereo HU (unless they're significantly better in the latest models?).
Get rid of the standard 17" wheels and get 18's fitted and then get Eibach springs fitted which will firm up the ride slightly (but not too much) and will lower it by about 20mm.
How's that for starters?
If you aren't concerned about the warranty, try:
- Replace OE panel filter for HKS/GREEN or similar
- Fit decat centre pipe and performance backbox
- Have ecutek remap
After that you could go for:
- Fit decat uppipe and downpipe
- Have the map redone

The ctr is a cracking car, firstly in the winter its hard putting the power on the road, just imagine a go kart on a wet track. But the main reason is i want a car with 4 doors and 5 seats. The ctr is only a 4 seater car !!!!!
