Peco back box,
K&N induction kit,
Power boost valve,
One of those things from ebay,
viper stripes,
and stick on fuel flap.
Will see a good 30bhp gain.

There are lots of things that can be done to the 1.4 & 1.6 16v engines BUT it depends on how much you want to spend. Decent mods arnt really cheap you see.
You can go for larger zorst system (2") and manifold if you want to spend the extra, and a performance panel filter. Give the engine a good service, change the spark plugs n leads if there old.
best way to get a nicer running car and cheapest mods are to keep it serviced well and loose weight from it.
