Cheers for the tips, yeah I'm just looking at really basic stuff like Intake upgrade and maybe cheap exhaust. Mainly looking at cosmetic improvements like LED's Halogens spoiler etc...

Thanks mate, I'm not really looking to do anything in the way of performance, I agree with roctiv completely. I'd be interested in seeing some photos of what you've done with you 112 to give me an idea of the cosmetic things I could do. I will deffinately be looking into the intake with K&N, how much would I be looking at for the exhaust you listed? Wouldn't mind doing some of the lighting changes you also listed (Brake, Headlight upgrades) how would I go about getting something like that done (or could I do it myself? if so where do I get stuff like led's etc...) Sorry for all the questions! I'm definitely a newbie to all this and am pretty keen about getting something started soon. Cheers mate.

Not really looking at a system yet and probably only looking for something simple spekers, head unit and amp. Cheers anyway

Hi Guys and Gals, Being a total newbie to this car world thing, you'll have cut me some slack. I'm picking up my new Corolla this week and looking forward to undertaking a few minor mods to get it looking and running better than it does at the moment. In its current state it's a factory standard 2000 Corolla Ascent AE112R Liftback, ocean blue and in awesome condition, pretty boring if you ask me but I picked it up for $8000 with only 100,000kms so I shouldn't complain. I'm not at all looking to spend thousands of dollars on this thing, I just want to do a few basic mods to at least get it looking and sounding better, so it doesn't look like my grandmas car... My planned mods (if you would call them that) are listed below. It would be awesome if anyone could recommend particular brands to look out for, or point out any other small mods I could do, or get done without it costing me too much coin. -Planned Mods are in this order- 1.Tinted windows (Darkest Legal) 2.Air Filter (Preferably Pod Filter) 3.Headlights (Just Those halogen light bulbs) 4.Replace factory standard sound system 5.Possibly, a basic performance Exhaust when $ permit 6.Possibly some cheap second-hand Rims when $ permit 7. Anything else guys? Maybe you could suggest your list of "best bang for ya buck mods" BTW, I'm in Brisbane. P.S., This forum is awesome, I'm learning lots fast... Cheers, Tim
