Firstly, welcome!
There are a huge number of options here.
It's difficult to say they'll directly benefit 1st and 2nd gear more than anything though, but there are plenty of changes that would benefit the car overall in terms of performance.
For example (and this is just a few):
Basic ECU upgrade (Superchips etc) - 10bhp, £300
DMS Automotive will do higher ECU upgrades £500+ than can add much more bhp but you'll pay in terms of driveability too.
Supersprint manufacture an exhaust system that, depending on whether you go for front, middle, back etc will give anything between 5-12 bhp increase
Air filter changes from the likes of Piper Cross and K&N will give you between 6-12 bhp and are cheap on the scale of things
Whatever you do though, you're not going to get huge increases in performance unless you spend upwards of £1k and you can go to £3k and much more if you start looking at Turbo's, Superchargers etc ect
