Newbie - 197 Cup (AKA Tea Cup)

Hey Guys,

I thought I would finally get around to joining clio197.net today since I am always using the site for help/advice and just to appreciate everyone elses cars!
I have owned my 197 cup for about 10 months and loved every minute of it, it is such a fun car to drive and surprisingly usable too!

The car is a daily driver/track toy and I think I am finally ready to start modifying the car and welcome your opinions,

My initial thoughts are:

K&N Panel Filter - Already Done
Ferodo DS2500 pads - Already Done
19mm Hub spacers all round (has anyone already done this, or what sizes have you guys used?)
Strip rear interior (Possibly rear cage & Harnesses)
H&R springs or KW Variant 1's (Depending on money & timing)
Some kind of chassis stiffening Anti roll bars strut brace etc...
Exhaust & Decat (Open to suggestions on what to go for?)

Is there anything else you guys would add to the shortlist for a good start? I considered a decent induction kit but in my experience without a remap the standard air boxes are a better choice,
And how aboout the supersprint devices? Is anyone running them on here?

Anyway instead of turning this in to a build thread i ought to put some pictures up Apologies for the poor quality):

Let me know what you think,

Haha i like that number plate! As a lover of tea I'm jealous!

and I was brought up in Maidstone (Barming) but moved down to Folkestone. We have quite a contingent down there at the moment and London and South East meets are pretty popular, we're all a good bunch of lads :thumbsup:
 
Glad you guys like the plate, Ironically I don't actually drink tea though!

Anyway after a long wash, cut & polish I've got a few more pics:
