Performance or Looks

Hey guys

Probably a funny topic to bring up, but was talking with a mate the other day and we were talking about performance or looks?

What would you do first?

I'd install MHD and change plugs + coilpacks
Then I'd clean up the rear end Cf spoiler, CF diffuser, blacklines

Performance then looks. Often form follows function anyway.

You need the show to match the N54 go!

Straight away I got blacked out grilles, LED angel eyes, dual cone intake, charge pipe + BOV. Plus I painted my calipers gloss black. Yeah I went pretty crazy as soon as I got it very soon after that I tuned with MHD

Honestly performance always come first. I've never been a fan or looks simply because I like it to be sleeper
