Re: Urgent help! suggestions needed for my upgrades
Just enjoy the car. Mods can come later, already it is a way better first car than most of us had. If you have to mod the car, I'd start off with appearance. Things like decent set of rims, slightly lowered suspension, decent detail/polish, other HU (OEM) and so on...

Short of throwing tonnes of money at an engine swap there isn't much to be gained from engine mods on the CLP engine.Skiidawap wrote:My name is jaryd and im 19 and for my 18th i got my first car which is a vw vivo polo 1.4l

Decat, branches and a 1 box 50mm exhaust is about the most I would go to the trouble of doing. More than that is ridiculously expensive.
As mentioned above, put your money into wheels and sound. If you really have to satisfy the need to go faster, buy another car.
