Hi 78mao,

The Supersprint exhaust cost SGD3.5K with the centrepipes and it include installation.

You can check supersprint URL and it should fit all F10.

Hi Cywong,

l ordered Vossen VVS-CV2 concave with matt black. If you travel to China often, comfort is most important. When you go with bigger rim size, it might not be comfortable due to the profile of the tyres.

Hi Grimlock,

l enjoy modifying the car and the 3 things l will do will be rims, exhaust and suspension so the car looks nice . The reason l am going with spring is because in Singapore there is no coilover available so in the meantime, l will lower the car with spring using stock shocks till it wear off and l would change to coilover. Maybe 2 years later l would change the brakes to BBK and coilover when it is available and these will be the stuff l would do if $ allows me to do so. So in the meantime, l can only change the 3 things l like.
