Question HELP- What mod next?!!

Hi folks,

Spent a fortune on my car keeping it good looking without being chav centralised.

So My next mod decision is between the two:

Getting denttech to remove about 4 dings which arent terrible but I can notice them and i HATE dings oooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrr

A set of defi gauges since the wrx is now running 335bp to keep an eye of engine levels

What would you do honestly...............

Thanking you

Do you really need Defi's? They're good, but expensive at £300+!
You could always fit something cheaper, and get the worst dents done?

You've got the straight lines done, now how about the corners?

ALK, ARB, 4WG.

You still wont be "eating STi's", but would be like an annoying fly buzzing around them.

Nice colour BTW!

hahah cheers folks!!!!
Yeah I seen some "defis" on ebay for about £150 look quite nice.

Love the fly analogy- superb!

But seriously handling is a great shout........think that will be along very soon

Think its got to be the dings.
Engine only covered 42000 miles, suppose if its gonna blow up its gonna blow up!
And yes thanks for the admiration of the colour....something a little bit different.

So folks dings then handling then gauges?
Sound like the right order?
All servicing already done btw

TBH you could get a decent set of gauges for a lot less than defis, and they'd be a lot less complex to fit, not needing the controller.

My opinion, FWIW, would be ARBs, wheel alignment, gauges and then sort the bodywork. As soons as you start to use and abuse it you'll get more dings and stone chips anyway

I recently fitted whiteline anti roll bars, solid drop links and anti lift kit it has to be some of the best mods I have done. Car is now on rails even more so since i fitted a set of BC coilovers
Fitted these last month they are pretty cool

Somebody said before 300+ try 500+ including the carbon pod they look awesome though and at least i willl get an alarm when i blow it up lol
