post up some bigger pictures of your car from differant angles mate.

If your looking at modding your car on a budget your money would be best spent first fixing any standard problems and giving it a good service.
Then on a budget you could go round the scrap yards and find your self some clear front indicators and side repeaters.
Remove the rubber side strips and the badges from your car and give it a good tcut and polish.
As regards to you lowering your car i would never reccomend fitting lowering springs to standard dampers especially if there old as the missmatch of spring rates and damper rates would have the dampers knackerd in next to no time.

well the first mod on my list would be get rid of that frankly pathetic 1.1 engine and put in a 1.3 of the same engine as this doesnt raise insurance a stupid amount abot 100 quid a year overall and is incredibly easy to do all you need is a trolley jack and an engine trolley or an engine hoist and also the obvious spanners and such its a straight swap with the 1.3
