Plain Jane Gen 5 Prelude- suggestions?

    D'sister has a plain Jane Prelude. She loves this car and has had it for years. She has decided to spend some money on it and keep it rather than upgrade it. She knows replacing it with a nicer example makes the most financial sense but she wants to keep this car.

    It currently could do with a full respray. It's been damaged on all sides, tbh. It may get some partial paintwork or maybe she might stretch to the full respray it needs in time.

    Currently it has naff 90's 14" 3-spokes with missing centre caps and looks somewhat bare and spoilerless and in need of colour coding. It is that nice icy silver/ grey colour.

    She isn't a major petrol head and is reluctant to go too big with new alloys. 16" is the max she would go for. Maybe some OEM 15s/16s with some skinny spacers? It is the 4x100 PCD model, btw.

    I was thinking of suggesting a mild lowering job with maybe factory Type S springs. She's really worried about compromising the ride quality too much. If anyone has any specific knowledge of Type S/ lowered examples or experience of upgrading wheels, she'd like to hear about it.

    Any other ideas to give it a period correct, OEM look? She will shy away from making it look too aggressive.
