Fashion Mode

Getting your car to look its best can sometimes take more than a bit of polish and elbow grease. Even the best maintained cars might start to look a little dated after the passage of a few years. Fashions change, even in car design and you may feel that it is time to upgrade your motor for something a little more contemporary. But before you pay what could run into many thousands of pounds just to keep up with the latest trends, consider whether there is a cheaper and easier way of sprucing up your car whilst saving you money. Car modifications are not just limited to boy racers with turbo-charged Ford Sierras. Indeed, there are a range of options that you can turn to if you want your car to look cutting edge without venturing anywhere near a body shop or your mechanic.

Many items on a car can easily be replaced with just a little DIY know-how and a few minutes spare time. From steering wheel covers, to new door handles, gear stick knobs, wing mirrors, wheel trims and performance lighting, you can effect a dramatic transformation in a very small space of time. Indeed, headlights or fog lights, for example, can change the look of your car and though you may think that few people will notice what you have on your car in the way of lighting, it is surprising how much of a dramatic transformation new performance lighting can make. The type of lights that you choose will, to a large extent, be dictated by the car you have and the size of the existing lights. So, if you are buying online, take care to ensure that you get the right size and that they have the right type of fittings for your make and model. If in doubt, it is probably easiest to check online and a simple search for your type of car and the appropriate performance lighting should put you in the right direction.

Other great car accessories include seat covers and floor mats. These are often overlooked, but ensuring you have bright and fresh upholstery can make it seems like you have got a new car again. Modern seat covers are a lot more advanced than the poorly fitting types of yesteryear and you can often find something for your exact model of car. Why not give your car the treat it deserves by updating and buying new lighting, seat covers and mats?
