Needs to be lower, be VERY careful with going down the black / orange theme, saxo180's car was black and orange, and is probably one of the nicest saxo's ever.

I would repaint the aerial bit in black, and just do the tip of the aerial in orange... Looks a bit strange.
I also like orange mirror caps, should look at those

Good on you for declaring it though.
I'm not overly keen on the centre console being orange, I think orange looks better in smaller doses, to accent another colour - rather than being the main colour?

I much prefer R rims, but be careful going for S's without lowering... it will look quite silly as they are 15's!
You could always go black on the centre console, and accent small bits in orange?
