the best mod to start with in my opinion is a nice set of wheels and a drop. changes the look of the car right away.

lol. try and get a second hand of vauxhall wheels. think a few people have went for the corsa sxi wheels which are 15's, lovely looking wheel and can be picked up quite cheap if you look around.

you can lower 60mm on 16's without scrubbing as long as the wheel is et49 offset. not to sure if you can go much lower without scrubbing issues
