So, what mods are easy to do?

On some cars (in the UK at least), the less expensive versions of a particular model have all the same wiring, sockets, bits and pieces - only the last piece in the puzzle is missing.

For instance, some Fords have the wiring and sockets for footwell lighting, but on the cheaper versions they just don't screw a bulb in. So if you know where to look you just buy 2 bulbs and voila - instant footwell lights.

Is there anything like this on the W210, things that I can easily add with minimal expense?
