Welcome to the forum, but please do yourself a favour, and put the Lexus lights in the bin.
Get some pics of your car up when you can, that will give us a better idea of what things can be done to improve it for you, but no matter which way you look at it, Lexus lights are awful imo, standard ph2/3 rear lights are the best thing to have really.

What happened to 'each to their own'? ![Confused Confused](https://www.306oc.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/confused.png) If he likes Lexus lights that's up to him tbh.
As for other mods, look through the projects section and see what you like...

![lol lol](https://www.306oc.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/legacy/lol.gif) That'll go down well....
Anyway, a few ideas -
Rear wiper - either fit new blade or de-wiper depending on preference
Front wipers/washers - Flatblades and xsara mist jets
Boot badge - Get a custom lion badge to replace your missing one
Spoiler/splitter - The GTi's have both a spoiler and splitter, as do some of the sport models - I think they finish the car off but personal preference obviously.
Dent....err, either fix it or try to avoid it in pictures! ![Tongue Tongue](https://www.306oc.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/tongue.png)
Wheels - alloys are always better than hub caps....but getting a nice chrome 17" set to match the lexus lights might seal your fate on here. ![lol lol](https://www.306oc.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/legacy/lol.gif)
Exhaust - is that a decent backbox? If so, that's probably good enough.
Performance - There aren't really any cheap performance upgrades for a 1.4, a cone filter will give you a better noise though.

Lowering 40mm is definitely good idea.
As for exhaust - what do you like? Personally I like a big, round, inward rolled, slash cut tip (oo err) like the powerflow I have....but again it's up to you lol.

When I had my 1.4, I had a big cone filter under the bonnet, and a universal jap style slash cut (the ex-wifes choice, don't ask ![lol lol](https://www.306oc.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/legacy/lol.gif) ) back box. Sounded alright considering, just didn't really go very quick.
As Tom says, 40mm lowering is a good shout, 60mm is a bit too low on standard shocks (speaking from personal experience), and 16" wheels will fill the arches quite nicely without looking too big. For instance, the 17s I have on my estate look too big imo.

Look like Wolfrace or similar...as Piggy says, i can imagine they'll look pretty good on the car. Have they got any centre caps with them?
