So your vehicle is looking fantastic; you’ve fully tinted all your windows, the new body kit looks amazing and you’ve really transformed your motor into something special. It looks great, it feels great but…it doesn’t quite sound great. What you need is a new exhaust.

Why modify my exhaust?
First things first, a new stainless steel exhaust will sound great and your car will start turning heads like you want it to. A new exhaust system can also improve your cars performance in terms of BHP. If you shop around well, you can find exhausts that also improve your fuel economy which could potentially move you into a lower vehicle tax bracket.

If you’re looking at modifying your car to sell on, a new exhaust could potentially add a lot of value to your car. Most motor enthusiasts, particularly if you’re selling on prestige or classic cars, will look for a faithfully reproduced exhaust.  Plus, the improved performance ought to be a selling point too.

What sort of exhaust will I need?
This will entirely depend on the type of car you drive and what you want out of it. New tails might improve the sound of your car and how it looks, but a full exhaust system is more likely to improve performance. Obviously, different models need different specifications and you should research exactly what you want before buying.

An exhaust modification can be a great addition to any car, whether it’s a performance sports car, a one off classic or just your prized possession. It may well improve your car’s performance, increase your fuel economy, saving you money, and it will more than likely increase the resale value of your car. If your motor looks great, make sure it sounds great too!

If your not sure why you should tint your car then have a look at our new article on the benefits of car window tinting.

This month saw the launch of our brand new website here at Window-Tint.co.uk, including the window tint simulator on our homepage.

As you probably know, half of the UK is covered in snow at the moment. Icy conditions can making driving conditions very dangerous, but did you know window tint can help to protect you in the event of an accident. Window film can help holds together your car windows to prevent them from shattering and injuring you in the result of a crash.

Take a look at the video below for some tips on how not to drive in the snow.

So you’ve bought your new (or not so new) car, and it’s time to start thinking about adding some styling and modifications. We’ve put together a list of our favourite car modifications to give you a bit of inspiration.

1.  Window Tint

Now I’m not just putting window tint at the top of the list because we’re the leading UK supplier of pre cut car window tint kits (end shameless plug), I do truly believe that it is one of the cheapest and best ways to completely transform your car. It looks good on any car, from a Fiesta to a Ferrari, and you can buy DIY tint kits for around £30. Make your car really stand out by going for a mirrored or coloured tint.

2. Alloy wheels

Have you ever seen a decent modified car running on standard steel wheels? No, I didn’t think so, and that’s why I’ve put alloy wheels 2^nd in our list. You’re going to have to cut down on the takeaways for a few months though as alloy wheels (and the tyres you’ll need on them) don’t come cheap. Expect to pay anywhere upwards of £300 for a basic set. If you can’t quite afford that, car wheel trims are a decent alternative and only a fraction of the price.

3. Exhaust

You’ve got your car looking nice, but you can’t have it sounding like a shopping trolley. So next on our list is a new exhaust. These range from just a back-box to give your car a bit of a roar, to a complete exhaust system to increase performance and give your car that sporty sound. Prices for back-boxes start at around £50.

4. Lexus lights

It seemed at one point that every other car you passed had a set of Lexus lights fitted, looking pretty tacky in some cases. Together with other modifications I think they can definitely look nice, I personally prefer the Lexus lights with a darker backing (see image below) rather than the silver backed lights with looked a bit stuck on. Something else you could try if you don’t want to fork out on a new set of lights is some tail light tinting spray; you’ll definitely get a more unique look.

5. Painted brake callipers

I drive a Skoda Octavia VRS, and one of the things I still like the most about it is its green brake callipers (is that sad?). This will only work if you’ve got a set of wide spoke alloys, but it will give your car that definite sporty look. Brake calliper paint is available as either a spray can or a pot of paint. You’ll probably need to take your wheels off to apply it.
