well i looked at the set up seems mostly the same really and the brakes are only the standard 1.4i brakes mate but its got lowering springs ect on it so thought get some cally 2.0 brakes and fit those to it  and if fits fine and runs fine would be ideal as dont have to get the springs removed and refitted ect?

if i were you id look at lowered springs and shocks, if ur on a budget there are some quite cheap ones about. 40mm would be ok if u had standard shocks too. its up to you. see the tutorials for advice on it..
also id look for a smaller bumper really, have a look about here and see what u like.. check out my garage i have m3 skirts, and reiger front which are a bit better for a smoother look. i think combat skirts are a bit chunky.!
