Alot of those bits can be done if you just set some time aside and get on with it. Things like HID's, ARB etc are a case of money and won't take long to do, not the kind of thing worth being off the road for IMO
Stop being a fanny

Was bored so thought I'd try to find out where the sheared bolt was from.
Up in the air splitterless
Turns out its the bolt for the dogbone engine mount which bolts on to the subframe and the gearbox, guess which end it sheared off.....yup the gearbox end! Hopefully i can get it drilled out if not i will have to use the spare gearbox i have.
Pic of the dobbone mount and the sheared bolt
And pics of ther bottom of the gear box where its sheared off from.
