Alright guys, im a bit depressed with my car atm, it drives well and it good fun to drive on a winding b/a road BUT
Im bored of it and need some CHEAP mods to do to it.
i must emphasise the cheap as i am a student with the income of a dizzying £60 a week who is going uni in September (need the money for beer/books)
Any ideas guys?
heres a pic of my car at the moment.

a properly lowered car doesn't lose much of the comfort, speed bumps aren't an issue until you go lower than 60mm

Smoothing and painting various bits. With some time and patience it can be done in the cheap (within reason). And can transform a car.

Was my D Turbo lowered as standard? I don't think I've ever seen such a 'high' 306 or does it have tiny wheels/tyres?
