Wouldn't worry about modding it too much really. Unless you've got brand new headlights the HIDs/LED's aren't that useful and tbh they end up burning out quickly in my experience - it's not that simple a job to change headlights in the Cupra TDI either, so I'd be inclined to stick with halogen. Basic remap is and RARB is plenty. The rear ARB transforms the handling. Medium works best I find on the Cupra, nicely balanced without being silly kicking the rear every time you come off the throttle mid corner.

what oils recomended??

I have always got mine direct from Seat. It's on offer (well it was two weeks back) and it's what's recommended at a price around the same as elsewhere for branded oil (even branded oil from places like GSF / Eurocarparts / local motor factors).
Previous owners have used OE, so makes sense to me if you're keeping it a long time.
