Earlier this year I got an 05 Seat Ibiza as a birthday present from my parents (quite surprised as I thought id be getting public transport everyday) I was wondering what modifications should I add to it!

Already added eibach lowering springs that took it 30mm at the front and 35mm at the back.
I also had a set of alloys(found at a scrapyard for £120 with 4 brand new tires)

i just want it to look clean and tidy , with a wee bit of edge.

any suggestions?

Clean it up good with a clay bar, give it a nice cleaning here and there. Just do whatever you can to make her look like she came right from the show room!

Tidy up the engine bay, if possible.
Tint rear windows in accordance with the law.
decent exhaust if you can afford the extra insurance...
can't think of much else tbf.

Don't put a lot of money into as you won't get that money out of it. Trust me, I understand is only 100 and 500 dollars here and there, but then you might end up like me- 16k into a vehicle worth less than half that.
