Looks really good, especially with all the bird dirt off. ;) Black panel/Silver framed is what my dad went for in his 1.5 - gorgeous colour combo.

I see painted wiper arms, wind deflectors and a embossed licence plate (though I can't see it in the first photo - guess you added that?). I guess the bigger question is what's next?

Yep, added the plates, as well as replacing the rear bumper and near side wheel arch (had huge cracks), upgraded speakers, fixed the AC, added the faux bonnet vents (mine must have been one of the first models to scrap these), replaced drivers door handle & cable, and gave the lights a clean up with toothpaste as well as a few other little bits.. not sure what to do next, should probably give my bank balance a little rest for a few weeks lol!
