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..

Tucpal recommends a set from Hids direct.

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.
