Yeah wheels, and nothing too silly like 17/18".
There's enough 15/16 stuff out there cheap enough, few hundred quid can make a big difference.
These are 14, but also quite cheap, bit far away though - http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=264196
Also these - http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=264345
Keep an eye out, they're not rare.

It'll drive worse but look better. Depends what you want. A 40mm drop is not excessive.
One thing I wouldn't do is go too big on the wheels if you're not going to lower it, it'll look even worse than if you had not paid out for wheels.
This guy has a similar project to yours - http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/garage.php?action=usergarage&owner=hamman&carid=4091
Looks well kept fairly standard looking but improved massively over how he got it.

If you mean mine then yeah, Rimstyle. If you mean the red and black one I posted, then I think they're Depo smoked headlights, can get em off eBay.
Red/Black car isn't mine.

not a good idea to paint that type of plastic, paint or finish wont last as the plastic will have moisture trapped in it, near impossible to get out
