Hey mate, I don't know about head lights but you can get tail lights. LED's will cause your car to say there is not a bulb there as wattage is different. there are ways of overcoming that though. Nice Deals in UK have tail lights. I have baought a pair of Black Lexus for my Black 147 and they look very nice. They are by far the cheapest lights I found I could get including postage! http://www.nicedeals.co.uk/index.php?cPath=21_35_954&osCsid=5b3b5126c50b050439235042808a1006

Have fun!

What exactly do you think you'll achieve by changing the injectors?

No. It is definitely not good for the car.

Perhaps you should contact one of the club sponsors, tell them how much of a power increase you desire, and let them advise you from there.

So.  The photo I had a (seriously) overwhelming desire to post can be found at the following link.  I believe this would have met Branko's expectations.

I thought that posting it may push the limits of my new club position as 'President Of Vice'.

Everyone.  Blame Branko.

mods generally boil down to cosmetic and performance.

with a Twin Spark, i don't think you should bother trying to chase big power. it's not worth it IMO. much better off selling the car for a 147GTA have the the 'total package'. you really can't turn a car like a TS into something it isn't without spending huge money.

but for performance mods, i would be suggesting:
*lowered springs: Eibach Pro Kit as already suggested (alternatively, quality coilovers like KW but for a street car, i'd say it's overkill)
*shocks: KONI Sport or FSD, or Bilstein B6
*brake pads: 'fast street' pads like Ferodo DS2500 for the front and DS Performance for the rear
*quality tyres

blend of performance and cosmetic/aural. these won't do much for performance but aren't exactly cosmetic:
*exhaust: alter the sound but don't expect power hikes
*air filter: factory air box/piping is quite reasonable

cosmetic:
*tinted windows
*smoked or clear side indicators
*17" or 18" wheels
*debadge
*non-LED globe upgrades: Philips BlueVision or CrystalVision

some cosmetic changes 'work' much better than others. but it's subjective.

Given that you are in NSW, go to http://www.alfaclubnsw.org.au/, then click on "General Information" on the left hand side, then "Businesses".

Unfortunately I can't directly link to the page.  That should get you started anyway, and I think there are a couple of others in NSW who don't come up there.
