Its only a 1.2 8v but only had 53000 miles on a P-Plate,
after a sebring exhaust and a spot of debadging and a nice set of 16's, should look quite tidy

debadging, lowering 60mm, 16's, colour code door handles, boot lock, get some post 97 bumpers, and backbox and will be a good start

debadge it yourself as any garage will rip you off for such a simple job, i used my mum's hairdrier  and abit of patience of patience the silver lettering comes off quite easy its the bonding underneath which takes more effort

You won't damage the paint if you're careful, just either heat them up or give them some gentle persuasion with a pressure washer.
I'd get the wheels on and lower it at the same time, then worry about other bits. Suspension is more important than an exhaust.

Nooooooooooo!
They should just pull off if you can get a fingernail behind them. Don't use any tools. Maybe a credit card if you're really stuck, but certainly nothing metal.
Any glue left will come off with a bit of wax, yeah.
