I can't comment personally on the spring situation but if you search the projects section there's a fair few mk3's who have used 40mm lowering springs on their standard shocks.
Quite a few folks are running or have run 40mm springs on standard shocks. That's about as far as they can take.
Bilsteins are mega money for what is essentially a 1.2.
I'm running AP coilovers on my DCI but then it's used on track, running 17's and isn't slammed.
Can't personally recommend either as I've not used them, but a quick search for RS specialists up your way turned up RS Tuning in Leeds or DDC in Doncaster.
Not sure if they'll stretch to a gearbox change, as the search on here was only for servicing/ cambelts. Worth a shout though.
I have a group of 4 on tonight attempting VoG. I'll be on from 7:30 onwards, and they will come on after that (probably around 8pm). It'll be a session again, so we'll still be going till around 11pm I reckon.

Not cheap, but they come up 2nd hand now and again.

Personally if you've only got it for a year, I wouldn't spend a penny on it.
At most, colour code the side strips/ bumper strips. If you're going to head for a faster better car in 12 months time, then save it for mods on that.
