New CSL Owner

Hi Guys,
Thought it was about time I joined the madhouse and introduced myself, I have recently (this week) collected a SB CSL and as you can guess Im a very happy bunny at the moment.. The car needs a few bits doing to it to bring it up to my ocd standard, But Im gonna enjoy doing the little jobs that need doing, First off was black alloys returned to their rightful silver colour (done today), Next off is Supersports all round, (ordered and going on Monday) New trim around the SMG shift (collecting tomorrow, along with new centre caps and a front carbon splitter), In 2 minds whether to get the wheel retrimmed or bite the bullet for a new one, As the Alacantra is pretty tired and the black plastic from the inner top and bottom steering wheel is also coming off,(close to the M track button),
I believe the inner wheel top and bottom cost around £300 alone, then the cost of a re-trim £150 + del + coll approx £40, Almost £500 if my prices are correct against a new wheel including top and bottom trim for £690 inc Vat, Finally I need new wheel bolts as mine are rusty, BMW quoted me around £80 for a full set, I have spotted a guy on ebay selling what look like quality M3
Bolts for less than half that price, All he sells is wheel bolts and car mats, (great feedback) Don't think they are OEM though, Certainly don't want to compromise on anything on this car, but also don't want to throw money away unecceserily so would appreciate any words of wisdom from you experts, Final question, how do the front carbon splitters get attached?
Many thanks in advance guys, Will post lots of pics when car is looking pristine.
