Lightbulb Modifying a Black 2012 C-Coupe

Hi Guys,

I have been following this great forum ever since I picked up my new 180 C-Coupe (full option UK model) a few weeks ago here in Thailand. (Because of taxes $100.000 is cheap even for a 180 here, never understood why you Americans keep complaining about taxes )

However I am planning on keeping it very classy black as it is a beautiful car already, but wanted your input on what small changes that can make a big difference on the Black car.

Here is the list so far:
-Black toned windows (60% on the side 40% on the front)
-C63 diffuser and twin exhaust (Anyone with pricerange and gain from this?)
-Black Rims (Suggestions welcome)
-Toned Backlights
-Small "Standard" lip spoiler

Extra: MatteBlack Vinyl, however not sure if it is worth it.

So please if you have modified a black coupe yourself show me pics or any other suggestions is appreciated.
