Is there anywhere on the site where I can find a list of external changes that were made on the upgrade models and how many of these can be retro fitted on an early model??
 
Front and Rear Bumpers, headlight and tail lights.

Some new wheels and some wheels dropped.

Thats it.
 
I think the headlights have a different loom on Xenons; rear lights are a bit more involved as they need coding if you want to do the job properly.
 
Not strictly external but the facelift models had sound insulation in the doors which dampens the hollow sound and makes them shut with a 'thud' - it's a cheap, easy and worthwhile mod

That insulation sounds a good idea, I presume it is still available from the stealers??

Just buy Silent Coat or similar - I did a write-up on the process as I did it as part of adding door speakers, it's in the how-to section
 
Here you go - just ignore the bits about the speakers and there's no need to add the sound insulation to the back of the doorcards as that was to prevent the speaker making the doorcard resonate

My doors could do with some better deadening!

The Silent Coat gives better results than the OEM insulation but it's a bit heavier - not that you'd worry about that unless you're a track warrior
