I'd definitely add a vote to what's already been said...
If it's a minter, keep it as it is. They're rare enough now (especially the 'nicer' cars) that they deserve to be kept original.
That's why I think it's a shame if (for example) the beater-drift crowd buy up top-of-the-line GLTs when they're 'so cheap' at £500, and wrap them round the nearest tree...not caring, because 'there are plenty more'. Plenty more 'average' cars, sure, but not the really nice ones. Hats off to Bolf for not wrecking his former lovely silver saloon.
For anything else, it's fair game. Various aspects of the 300s weren't that great, so why not improve on them?
cheers

I agree with you jtbojtbo wrote:I understand how modding looks and all that requires skill and all, but I really like to say that only performance mods unless car already have some performance, if car looks like a spaceship but runs like any modern 2ltr family sedan, then I vote no.
