I bought my 06 6MPS in Jan '13 entirely factory standard. The alloys were kerbed/corroded (a common problem) and the paintwork needs some TLC but otherwise it's mechanically sound.
Next week Letchworth Diamond Wheels are refurbishing my alloys and painting them anthracite grey.
After that (and in no particular order) my list is: bluetooth car kit with ipod connection suspension geometry check/correct parking sensors - definitely needed on a barge like mine. I have my eyes on a set that don't require drilling your bumpers paint touch up underseal the body work
No power or handling mods yet as I'm still getting used to the car. On the "other" forum I'm on I'm told that I could pretty easily see ~290hp (up from a claimed 256hp) with just a tune. Or 320ish if I swop out the standard intake system with a short ram intake, turbo inlet pipe, high pressure fuel pump and tune.
Before and after pictures to follow when I've taken them

I've replaced the anaemic internal halogen lights with LEDs. It didn't take too long once I found the clips. Finding the clips took a while and a lot of swearing!

Had the barge on the dyno last month and was pleasantly surprised - 260-something horses (flywheel) and 280-ish torques (factory spec sheet says 256hp/280lb-ft). I've got the boost and afr plots as well.
