The car looks good with those wheels but I can't help notice aerial is bent.

You can get beesting or stubby aerials that give the car a sleeker look and be less prone to damage. I have the Autotechnica smart antenna. It fits ok but leaves a gap between the base and conical mounting of antenna, I used plastic rings from an RC car shocks to fill the space but the same could be done with washers. I also used loctite on it to stop theft. Works ok but in low reception areas it can suffer.

Another simple and cheap mod is the windscreen wipers. Bosch and Tridon make replacement wiper arms that convert from the metal arms to flat spring type blades like on most European cars. Look for hook type flex wipers, drivers side 22 inch passengers 18 inch. Again a sleeker look and they also keep rain off much better.

And last simple/cheap idea is a exhaust tip. Can get a push on tip to fit a 2 1/8 inch (54mm) in your preferred style.

If Victoria, black and white slim line number plates look great complete cost $150. if your car is ES sport, sport badges on boot lid and on sides just below side turn indicators add Bling for just $20 each (Suzuki badges) . This and many other items can be found under DIY and General headings. Engine wise a RA inlet snorkel looks the part and works well $175 new from Mitsubishi, worth doing. :D

]Rally-Art induction snorkel $175 new from Mitsubishi worth every cent simple direct fit. Improvement to sound and performance ie: smoother take off etc:. Needs extra holes in panel at the front opening for best results. pictures and DIYs etc are available in existing forums.

Currently adding Bling to my car will be entering those in with pics when complete. :D
