Well here is my first car, 1997 Corsa b. Car was completely standard when i got it but popped into autosave on way home for a touch up pen and came out with a set of alloys which were shortly after fitted.
My plans for modification in the future are:
Lowered 40mm
GSI rear spoiler
Windows tinted in medium tint
new steering wheel
lexus lights
colour coded interior
sub & amp
indash T.V
So what do you think of her?

Hello  Car looks nice project to start on. As has been mentioned, in personal taste, don't bother with lexus lights as they tend to be regarded as a little bit dated and chavvy these days. Tints may look ok, but if not, why not just get a very discreet tint such as light green. blue or smoked? Just an idea...

some nice aftermarket rear lights are MHW smoked ones, they work well if your not colour coding the black bumpers.

Looks like a good first car.
I like the sound of the plans except the lexus lights and dont go to ott colour coding the interior as i think it can look a bit tacky.

TBH, I really wouldnt bother with colour coding. Blue will deffo look a wee bit tacky tho, so if you've gotta do it, do silver (altho this won't exactly match much on your car) Do the more obv things first, you may decide you don't want to it after a while

Lowered 40mm - yes, soon 
GSI rear spoiler - perhaps, or something more subtle
Windows tinted in medium tint - perhaps, I personally wouldn't. Its hassle.
new steering wheel - GSi leather 3 spoke if you don't have an airbag.
lexus lights - as discussed.
colour coded interior - can look terrible done wrong.
sub & amp - perhaps
indash T.V - maybe
premium membership for CS - yeah of course
