I would say for lights upgrade the DRL's for Led's and change the bulbs for a set you like

I know there is someone doing a mod for headlights but I can't say more yet..

Cheers what bulbs can you advise?!

Have a look at this thread as you will need to add some loads onto the LEDS.

Tucpal recommends a set from Hids direct.

Welcome to the site.

Liking the wheels are these the optional 19's?

No standard 17's not sure if they will go Matt black or anthracite yet I like the style so don't think il change them. Not looking at doing loads to it just some subtle mods.

I always thought they were fogs, learn something new everyday.
