I would say upgrade the stereo some.
Then drive it. Find out what others have done and what you like or don't like. Wesmaster and others have given you some great advise and as Schatten said, d r i v i n g s c h o o l =D, one of the best things that you can spend your money on.

well, I think a common mod everyone does fairly "right-off-the-bat" is CAI. It gives you VERY minimal gains, but it sure sounds great. Audio upgrade if performance (extra weight) doesn't bother you much. Cosmetics...that's up to you. Larger wheels? body kit if you like..? my first "major" mod looks like it will be the final gear set. Good luck in your decision.
Keep us updated!

CAI mods are actually rather rare here in North Texas.
In any case, like several others have said, the only thing you should do right away with the car is take it to an autocross or track school. Are there places for that in Dubai? I'm pretty sure there are some other owners in that area on s2ki, you could ask them.

If this is a LHD, then your #1 and #2 mods should be... (and I did this withing the first month of owning the car)
#1 Muz Convex Mirror - oh man, no more blindspot!
#2 Full length floor mats (I went with the Muz standard, but would probably go with the better "prestige" mat if I could do it again) - Within the first month of driving the car (pre-mats) I stepped in ... somthing
... and it was all over the floor brace. The full length mats would have covered it!
