Ok, to help you a wee bit mate:
1. Coil Packs (Complete) - genuine!!
2. Oil - Millers, or I personally use castrol edge 5w30
3. MAF - BOSH!!
4. Service Parts - more details?
To Come:
Front and Rear Strut Braces - rear custom hughes engineering, ill find his email and ping it over, front adj A3 one. Fits lovely and taken alot of track abuse and hasnt missed a beat - plus easy to fit, then wind on the pressure!
Side Skirts - Facelift / flea bay
Coil Overs - Koni, or budget, JOM are showing alot of love now!!
Detailing - too broad, chrome will suit yours
and a paint brush to dust!

lol thanks guy's
I've already got the side skirts! genuine oem ones, they are in red atm, waiting to get them painted
and
I've already got the front and rear strut braces.
Thanks, i'll go for the genuine coil packs, personally wanted bolt down ones
I heard you can trade your old genuine MAF for a new one?

UPDATES!
After a few months of horrid weather and my need to seclude myself from the rest of the world! Here is how she looks currently, don't quote me, but I think I am the FIRST LC owner to put on Ibiza Bocanegra alloys!:
Also as you can see I have sorted out the pipe on the FMIC, nicely tucked away now:
Loads more to come:
LC/LCR Side Skirts, I have them but they are in Red, waiting for them to be painted black
Front and rear strut braces, I also have these, ain't had a change to put them on, one of the main reasons why is that my Intercooler piping is coming in the way what would be the front strut brace, I'm trying to figure out a way around that.
Bigger tyres, these 17's look smaller then my previous 16's, because they have low profile tyres, will be changing to higher profile tyres, I'm sticking with 17" wheel size
Lowering, un-decided yet, should I go for springs or a budget coil-over set.
BUT yes it's a BIG but, before all of that, the car NEEDS a service, engine is running rough, the IDLE is horrible have the following fault codes:
P0030
P0135
P0171
After a bit of research I think the first two are related to me having a pure de-cat, the one after comes factory standard so.... I have decided to purchase the following for a MAJOR'ish service:
1. New MAF
2. New Coil-Packs
3. New 02 Sensor
4. Mobil 1 Oil
Until I sort the above out, I won't be touching the cosmetics, I think it looks good as it is!

Mo, one cheap mod you can do is...remove the badges from the back, way too many (in my opinion).
I've been contemplating doing that but again, still in two states of mind, total removal or re-badge with "c u p r a", again it's going to be left for another sunny day.
looks good mate.. gave me some good ideas
Thanks mate
Forgot to mention above, more plans:
Fit catch can, already bought and totally remove the PCV system, I know there are loads of detaied guides but I still can't get the jist of it.
Remove N249, again this will be part of removing the PCV system
In the future, perhaps custom FMIC piping, much like adamcupra had, (totally awesome LC btw, one of the best ever here) shame his piping was one off
