Any suggestions on wheels or other mods would be appricated. (Not sure if this is in the rite section Admin feel free to move if not) :)

You must get it lowered also - let's leave the 'on stilts' look to Puma owners ;-)

Nice!

Clear or dark indicators for the wings instead of the orange ones would make a big difference. Looking good!

I'd be more inclined towards Rotas than Lenso's - more of a track looking rim.
Def need a set of lowering springs to go on at same time - will improve the look (and handling) no end.

Other than that - as per above - clear/tinted side indicators and remove the rear mudguards.

Looks good. You've got the same rear foglight as me, did you buy it in the UK? Try East Coast Alloys in Ardee for Lenso wheels, he has the rights to them in Ireland so is usually a lot cheaper than for them thn anywhere else. Might even save enough to make a trip from Limerick worth while. I got 17" gun metal grey multi-spoke Lenso's with tyres for €960 a couple of years ago for my old gs, not bad as the were €1200ish elsewhere at the time. Not sure what make they were but my sis's fella got lovely ones for his civic a few weeks back that might go well on yours. Gun metal grey multi twin spoke with black rim and black accents between the spokes. Would look the biz on a black car me thinks.
