| Honestly, a nice set of wheels and lowering springs then you're all set.  | |

| Are all these lights on when the engine is running?
And what is the current tire size on your car?
I'd recommend Tein springs. | |

| First light is the cat converter the sensor needs replacing or the cat its self, depending on your countries emissions laws, I'd cut the wires from the plug at the cat and join them together - no more light.
The second i'm not sure of, possibly the rear fog light if its a euro model.
The power and manual light are to do with the auto gearbox, I forget how they work, maybe an overdrive option.
17x7 mags would be the biggest comfortable mag you could go imo | |

| First light (that looks like a toaster) is generally the cat-converter temperature warning. Second one is a blown tail-light globe.
The Manu and PWR lights/buttons are for the shift-map of the automatic transmission - Manu is manual mode, PWR is more aggressive shifting and gear holding etc. | |

| The second indicator means you have a burned out tail light.
As said, the PWR is just a more aggressive shifting pattern, resulting in less MPG but more fun.
And you should get more pics.... definitely wheels and lowering, but also painting that door handle! | |
