Just wondering what you all think and if you can suggest any improvements. This is how I bought it, don't think it has any engine/performance mods. Top site by the way, there is some top info and some top people on here, nice one.

It has side skirts and something on the bottom of the rear bumper.
I'd say those rear chrome brake lights needs changing to ph2 or m3 style lights

I thought about that, it also has the standard headlights so was thinking of getting the angel eye ones, unless there's better for the front?
Have no idea what the ph2 or m3 lights are or where to get them from, I know nothing about cars or parts (almost as bad a woman mechnically lol) even had to get my dad to come see it for me to make sure everything was good haha.
Any links mate?

Hi and welcome!
M3 rear lights would look good. Not sure on the bodykit. But as long as you like it. Looks quite tidy.

Don't go angel eyes. Either masked crystals or Morettes look better

If you want to be able to see when you drive, your better off keeping the standard headlights

Haha I like your style Andy.
So I take it there's a divided opinion between getting morettes (or other) headlights and keeping the standard?
Cheers for the link for the lights Paul 
Also, I've been reading that standard 180s only give around 165bhp, which has made me sad  I'm not bothered too much I mean my last car was a 1.2 but it would have been nice to get a car that is what it says! Mods cost too much, I'm not paying about £700/800 overall just for another exhaust, a chip and an induction kit when I probably won't see that much difference.

Oh and one last point, the 0-60 times, unless I'm an awful driver, are way out.
I tried it on a dead road and the traction control kicks in which basically freezes the car for a second then you 'start again' kinda thing. Plus, I didn't quite go all the way to 7/8k revs (maybe 6?) as it sounded like my engine was going to blow up (being used to a Corsa I'm not used to all this high revvin sporty shizz)
But my 0-60 was 10 seconds! hahaha.
Nice car though.

Not so much about divided opinion but angel eyes are not known for having the best light output.
If you want to change them tho Morettes or masked crystals will give better light.

Good job I came on here then, will definitely exclude the angel eyes. Just bought some halfords "ultra brilliance" bulbs to fit the existing lights at the moment - lots of light - very happy for the time being at least, unless the Morettes use the same bulbs and have the same (or more) amount of light?

Welcome to the site mate, good choice of colour but I would remove those additional sideskirts, front/rear splitter and change the rear lights for ph2 units and it will look much much better

Morettes I have heard are not quite as good as standard lights but not terrible. Masked crystals are the same as you have now with black masks inside. You can get h7 or h4 Morettes.

My opinion -
Get rid of
the awful body kit
Chrome Lexus Lights
Chrome Petrol Cap
Get it lowered, Morettes are lush.
Janspeed Exhaust is my favourite mod
HIDs
