If you've got the money there's plenty of body kits and various other aeshtetic stuff you can do to the car. Got any pics of it? What color? Oh yeah btw welcome to ceg.
Couple of popular aesthetic mods on here seem to be knauberizing (removing the ding guards strips that run along the sides of the car) and removing badges (we don't need no stinking badges) If you remove the 24V badges (if you have them I'm not familiar with your model) there are holes underneath that most people fill with sidemarkers, typically ones made for an Audi but I put some Hella brands on mine that looked nice. Another popular mod is replacing the grills with a different kind of mesh and painting the crome ring around the front grill to match your car's body color. All of these are pretty cheap mods that mostly just involve some time to do them but give nice results. Mull around the aesthetics forum and you'll find a lot of people doing some cool and often innovative type stuff to their cars.

good thinking, heavily modifying any contour to be real fast will cost a lotta money, more than what it's worth, and this especially applies to an atx.
