Drop it 60mm, change the wheels, fit clear front indicators, side repeaters and factory smoked or mk5 rear lights. Lose the '1.4cl' badge as well. Oh and fit a front arb; you won't belive the difference till you've done it.

Yep. Lower it (less than £100) clean up the looks with clear or smoked indicators and sidelights (depends on car colour as to whether they're clear or smoked - £40 tops) and remove 1.4 badging 8)

Wheels if you have the money - you could always get some 5-spoker 14s like the 16v had?
