Lets not all answer at once!

"Modify" means a lot of different things to a lot of different people, it could mean go faster stripes, sticking on a set of alloys, messing about with lights, ice - like a new sub/ headunit,lowering/ coilovers, privacy glass gel, racing seats, remap/ decat/ panel filter right through to total interior retrim transmission upgrades/ (4wd etc) engine swaps etc

As above.

I's go for a turbo diesel or zetec conversion.
Cosworth style rear bumper
Sideskirts
Lowered

cosworth YB, Capri rear axle, type 9 box = rwd conversion

 

escort cossie body kit, lowered a touch but not too much, spray it a nice colour and terrorise the tarmac!
