You can but Xenon like bulb upgrades for your standard lights but they are just cheap alternatives.

nice pic mate, headlights with hids look better when you change the sidelight to the white led one.

umm well price varys depeding on what you can get, i got my rear GTi axle off ebay complete with handbrake cables callipers and carriers for £140 posted , the paint is £7.99 and i used smooth blue hammerite from halfords, now i wanted really good front brakes and fairly good back bracks so i went for brembo discs one the front and zimmerman rear discs then some zimmerman pads all round and in total the brakes/discs come to £126ish from GSF then some brake oil which was like £12 so all in total it came to £300ish

painting the callipers is easy and can be done yourself just clean and sand off any flaking paint and Sh*t then just paint over allow it to dry and do this a few times to get a good even coat of paint
