Only just getting into the mod scene of cars, only 17 and haven't passed my test yet ( got it a week tomorrow ) so only just got my car.
Probably going to get slaughtered for having the lexus lights. 
Not sure what else to do to it to be honest, want to get some alloys obviously but haven't got a huge budget to spend on it, thinking of getting some footwell neons also.
Any ideas welcome on what to do to it?? 
Cheers.

Remove the rear leuxs lights for sure.
The main thing is to keep it looking tidy. Make sure the black plastics are nice and black etc.
Little things can make huge differences to how the car looks, like a Mk2 3dr Punto rear wiper, some smoked side repeaters etc.
If you're on a a really tight budget, try and find some Vauxhall alloys that will fit your tyres. I managed to find some 13" Irmy Softstars, which meant I didn't need to change the tyres, which were not very old at all.
Strange how your car is pre-97 with post-97 rub strips though?! 
And welcome

Cheers for the welcomes
I am on the lookout for a set of cheap alloys, apparently there are some decent 15" down the local skip  that are in a very good condition.
Cheers for the other suggestions Just looking around ebay now for some small little mods that could make a big difference.

Agree with Matt. Get a set of wheels, get it lowered, remove the lexus lights, remove the tow bar, a decent exhaust and you'll have a good looking car.
