have you got some pictures? personally my mods would be polish the calais rims, get a soundsystem,
then if you have more dosh worry about the rest, chances are you will crach her, (don't mean tyo be nasty but im only been on p plates for a year and have had a fair few scary moments, aswell as 3 accidents since i have been in melbourne,
don't respray the car it will cost to much, if it's straight just give it a really good polish and clean (don't forget the engine bay, dirty engine bays let good cars down) try to make the car complete, (replace missing / broken pieces) and maybe respray the two tone yourself, asteroid silver.
just my opinion good luck

Up to you whether you get new mags or 2nd hand ones, I personally couldn't give a f*ck what you do!
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
B4 and after shots of mine going from stock to wat it is now
wats been done = Mags (VX SS for $700 with average tyres), painted side skirts silver and resprayed front and rear bumpers and tint
think those are the main things
getting it lowered soon and itll look better then so yeh probably wat everyone else has said - mags and lower

Best thing you could do is restore the car.
By that I mean fix anything that's dodgy/broken, as im sure there'll be a few thing's on it that require attention.

Restore it to immaculate condition as best you canMagsRe paint brakesVenetionsLoweredNew head and tail lightsExhaust tipre spray the boot mould and eyebrow moulds
Yeh as its been said.
Lower it.
Repaint your moulds, if its a calais leave the black capping on the bottom.
Sil Skirts black.
Venetians.
Polish you calais wheels.
Chrome stripping around the bumpers.
New headlights and grille.
Will be sweet as then
