We're talking visual changes right, rather than performance stuff?

External
S2000 shortened aerial
lowered and uprated suspension (how low you go is determined by how you use the car)
smoothed front and rear bumpers
Euro-spec 130mm driver's side wing mirror (unless you already have one)

Internal
TT pedals (which you [and I] already have)
Black rear-view mirror
Leather and/or alcantara retrim (if you can afford it)

Personally I don't think there is much to be done with the interior without going for the retrim, unless you want to look at swapping the front seats out for some with better support like Recaros or Konigs, but again we're talking about much moolah to change things around. Best just to keep things clean and tidy. The only other thing I was toying with myself some time back was light tints all round, athough the Police are now clamping down on tinting and the laws on how much you can and can't tint your windows are being tightened all the time, its currently set at 70% of light having to be able to pass through your side front windows but anything you want from the B-pillar back.

Deffinately smooth the bumpers, it makes a hell of a change (see my sig

)

Other than that, as Si said, there isn't really that much that needs doing as it looks so damn good anyway.

Too much mate, I paid more than most people do for the front and rear!

Still there's no bodyshops around my way that I know of
