You mean the dual climate control?

yes you certainly can. It's not an easy job though. Literally full dash out and all new heating elements and electronic mechanisms, then coding and loads of stuff involved.

Not sure what you consider "cheap" but ~£160 gets you some R32/Edition 30 rear lights:



IMHO this is one of the most effective visual mods you can make without heading into Barry-Boy territory  :wink:

LED Interior bulbs make a big difference :happy2:

Or even just spending £50 on decent cleaning gear and giving your car a good detail will make a suprsingly big difference :happy2:
