    Save it for a rainy day.

    With the economy the way it is throwing it at a 20 year old french car will be like throwing it down a drain.

    I'd spend it on the bodywork (if it needs it?) Failing that suspension.

    For the list above this is whay i'd do:

    D/V - wouldn't really fit one but if you want one fit a Forge on
    Speedo/Tacho - bit of luxury really, standard is good enough
    Coilovers - good choice, there not too bad
    Turbines - seem to be popular, not my cup of tea though
    Tints - totally ilegal mate, wouldn't bother but the clear protection film might be worth it
    Respray - just check whole car for rust too and sort it out
    Brakes - decent discs and pads are all you need for the light car, Hi-spec abit over kill for the road
    Interior -
    Downpipe -
