i just got myself my second car w00000

vauxhall astra 1.8 sxi, 3 door, aircon, 28k miles 03, elecy windows, spoiler, stock alloys, cd player, awsome condition not a scratch there...... etc

was wanting to get a few things for it

a new grill (dont know the name for it )

cd mp3 player (and wma playback - optional) (also a q, would it work with the remote on the steering wheel ?)


do the new pedals make any difference to grip etc ??? or they just a gimmick ?

and any other neat little things that would slightly improve the look or gadgets etc ..... ???


any help would be awsome =D


EDIT:
 
Go to the bagin bin then ;)

Seriously though, the best bet for a stereo is to check up on the web for one that has what you need/want, and then find out if it has the ability to use the controls provided on/around the wheel.

My 306 came with a radio stalk, that wasn't used as it had an aftermarket stereo in it anyways, so I removed that, put in my Sony headunit, and put in my Sony stalk. :)

My 205 just has the standard stalks...indicator, wipers. So I put the Sony stalk in there now as that's where my stereo is and it's now my car.

Some manufacturers (sp?) of headunits will also do contoller units, like Sony has a stalky thing, I don't like the newer blob like one. Not all of their units will come with the ability to have the controller unit, and none of them will come with the unit, it's a thing you have to buy seperatly.

Some do come with creditcard remotes though, mine did, never actually removed the plastic strip from the battery cover as I've never had a need for it.
