What matters, is your opinion.

Me personally, I'd go for the OEM+ look. Subtle personalisation mods, LED bulbs, some springs and some VAGCOM tweaks. The R is a stunning looking car as is, IMO.

But there are, of course, many who mod the nuts off their car and I can appreciate a lot of heavily modified cars.

It's such a personal form of expression, only you know whether you should leave it stock, or not.

What I would say is, the fact you've asked the question suggests that you already know if you want to or not. ;)

Problem with modifying is you can end up up with a really focused car but then you realise now it's doesn't truly form form the function you bought it for and if you do it properly you need to upgrade other components which make it even more full on

Stage 1 map and springs is a great place to be, personally I'd spend money on suspension and brakes over stage 2 all day long

After many years of lowering cars on springs and coil-overs i would recommend unless you plan on tracking it leave the stance well alone its low enough lowering on springs or coil-overs means you need to get it set up so you don't get uneven Tyre wear also bush wear , any road with a bump or pothole becomes a no go sleeping policemen are a no go ect its more hassle than it worth , as for stage 2 you can go straight to revo stage two with an induction kit and thats it as the r has a more free flowing exhaust than the other the cars running the engine , decat will realize a few more bhp but its not needed mines is booked for revo stage 2 after apr vs revo debate 335bhp with the revo race intake is the way forward and how it should have came from the factory .
Brakes are good and again don't need upgrading unless your a track nut , the very most is better brake fluid and pads im standard brakes and give it go now and again and the brakes are good
