if you can do it in budget then...
lowered
nice alloys - cossie rims look good
stainless exhaust
decent panel filter
possibly sport ka kit?
some nice front seats
performance wise you never going to get much from a 1.3, so sort the handling and styling, imo, powergains will not bring you much for your money.
A good handling set up will make it quicker in the twisties.

i would stick with the basics first like suspension brakes ect
maybe a ka sport kit and interior ect
as above cossie wheels suit the ka nicely
then i would get an rst turbo engine as its good / cheap /and easy to do
