Update:

Next up alcantara roof in black including the a-pillars, front trim around the windscreen.

Material plus installation cost is a couple 900 dollars, which isnt bad. Stay tuned around mid august when I get back from my vacation.

Thank you very much, the car is coming along nicely. I am adding tasteful modifications or stuff that I couldnt get in the cars stock form or through the options.

Mashkoor, will do dont worry. I thought of adding the Kleemann S/C, Cams and LSD but I like it as a Naturally aspirated engine.

That's definitely a nice upgrade but if you want to stay N/A....Get on the cams and an LSD is a MUST....are you looking at Quaiffe LSDs?

Yeah, Quaife and cams for the car are done for the FI setups so its not worth it and havent seen a dyno supporting the claims.

An LSD is a maybe, I need new tyres now as the rear ones are nearly shot original tyres 4 years old.

If I am going to change the tyres, PS2 Michelin. Only the best for my car.

PS2s are really good for the car if you want to have a bit of fun here and there but a lot of my friends have been using Nitto's and damn those things grip like crazy!!

You definitely need an LSD, you will get better response from the tires and you will feel the difference whenever you floor it out of a roundabout!!

I'm running Michelin PS1s and I'm really happy with them as well...but they're starting to fade away, got to change them!

Your engine has plenty of potential, too bad that Merc detuned them...You can open her up and make her rip off the road!

Get yourself some exhausts components, filters and all...and slam her with an ECU!
