Just thinking about modding the beast (1.6 Sport) and was looking at how much it is actually going to cost me.... (to have it done properly) I would like to have my mods done all at once rather than bit by bit because the car won't look right.... 
I came up with a list of what I would like done 2 my car with some rough ideas of pricing for each mod...
- Alloys BK166 or BK333 £360 - £400
- Induction Kit (PiperX) I already own
- Rear Black Lexus Lights £70
- Angel Eyes (Black) £125
- Lowered (just springs!!!) £70?
- Tints £150 (I know a guy from "Protint" who can do them for a mate rate)
- Upgrade my speakers in my car (front & back Alpine Type R's) £150
I think that is all and it comes to a whopping £1095!!! lol and thats just the start... what else should I get done?
Comments/Suggestions Welcome

The lowering cost seems a bit pricey for just spring imo

I got 60mm springs of ebay front and back for £60, I would not bother with the rear lights they look poo tbh 
Up to you though thats just my opinion

I have found a link for some GMAX springs... I think they will be ok for lowering????

you will get what yo pay for in terms of quality with suspension. Get springs and shocks. Koni or bilstien and leave all the other bits and pieces like lights till later

I am not too keen on getting sports shocks due to the fact that my mate told me you will feel every bump even more...!?!

not realli, depends what kit you get. If you get an adjustable one you can make it as soft or as hard as you like. A good quality kit will be smooth and comfy anyway
Just springs will give you shocking handling
