Also don't feel inferior, everyones gotta start with what they can get, got my licence at 17, didn't have a car over 80bhp till i was 21

Ahh thanks mate! I know you have said alot but would it be pushing it to ask what size alloys to get. Ive seen people put 17s on the fiesta and they look seriously good. However would it be wiser to go for 16s and lower the car by 35mm at the front and mabey 30mm at the back. Would that be the best combination for performance and handling

As regards to better suspension would that mean a coilover kit or would I get away with lowering springs like Eibach.

Lastly what exhaust system do you recommend, I need something that wont sound over exagerated but a nice even smooth tone.

Im greatful for the help. i really appreciate it!
