 PERSONALLY though I would go for looks first as it's already a gti so fair bit of power however it looks pretty naff atm, seriously needs some jazzing up. But that's just me

I agree about going for looks, but in fairness to the OP, he said no turbo's himself.

Here's my list of things to do, and in this order:
Debadge, dewiper, stubby antenna, cupra lip.
Headunit and speakers.
Coilovers.
Tint and better headlight bulbs.
Griffiths quick shift.
Better brakes.
CAI.
LSD.
Turbo (or new car by this point)
In my opinion of course, but it will make it an all round good daily, you'll be able to keep up with the better cars around the mountains, and it's just too expensive to get alot of power out of the engine.

I'm going to disagree with everyone else.
If your ultimate aim is to go for power (which usually ends up being the case once you've done all the styling mods) - leave the car styling as standard, and spend the money tweaking the power as best you can.
Although I love my car to bits, I kinda of wished I'd gone down this route.

If going for power you better have deep pockets 
Throttle bodies will cost upwards of £2k then once you have more power you'll need bigger brakes & up-rated clutch etc
Some insurers don't increase the premium on non-performance mods. Just get it looking better for now.

Styling (plus suspension) first.
If power was your objective you'd have bought a different car to begin with (one with more potential for less money)

Please put a spoiler on it? It will look so much sportier just with that one mod.
& I think a nice exhaust would help too (:
