No newer rear lights will fit. Only alternative is hella LED rears or perhaps conversion kits like some of the members on here have created.
Pressed plates are an iffy topic to touch on. You can get in alot of trouble - namely a £60 on the spot fine if you didnt have another set of plates if you got pulled over.
For the aerial, make sure you read that bit "Note: Radio reception will be impaired, these are designed for looks only.". The enfig/s2000 aerials give a good reception and look good too
As for lowering, it depends on what wheels you are gonna stick it on. If its going on 15s, then drop the car 40mm on springs. Thats what i did and it looks great. You can go and do springs and shocks but it really is up to you, and keep in mind how many passengers will be in the car and what you are going to use it for.
Another nice little mod is the GTI front grille. Makes a whole world of difference to the front end of the car and smartens it up
