Seen some pretty bad spoilers on BM's. Depends a lot on the look and colour - avoid the indycar scaffold picnic table look. A discreet white plastic spoiler looks great on a white car. Saw a BM at a show with loads of Fibre glass and that looked fantastic against the dark grey bodywork.

Cheryl88 will be pleased to have another 'wee girly' along - I think she was feeling a bit lonely here. Your car sounds really nice. Go with carbon fibre - it looks great on Grey. Hope your new sounds system ROCKS - let us know - we've jsut started an ICE (in car entertainment) section here so if you have any tips to pass on feel free.

The underbonnet stuff is not that complicated - especially when you've got us lot to explain it to you - the main site is a good place to start to get an overview of what is involved in tuning

Buddy - what in car entertainment setup are you going for - any tips to pass on?

I guess you want clarity for your Chopan and Bass for your 1812 overture Or are you more into Drum and Bass ?

I got a JVC DAB radio in my Audi and it is great it also plays WMA and MP3 so 1 CD has hours of music on it. The wiring and install cost more than the radio though - it was worth it though.
