Yep, it's pricey, but I've not regretted it as it makes a big difference IMO. (held on with blu tak!)
are we talking about the 3 silver rings that surround the dials here? £50 held on with blu tac?

i have them on mine - wasnt going to risk getting glue all over the dash so i used thin double-sided tape
BT and bixenon both are essential, as i didnt have the option to choose the bixenon i even managed to retrofit them
I would also look at what you might want in the future as some stuff is hard to retrofit.
Stuff like the iPod connector can I think be fairly easy to add, although the location in the car would probably need to be different.
There is some debate as to whether or not it is legal to retrofit HIDS in the U.K so I would opt for these upfront.
I think the bluetooth is possible although a pain. As said it give much more than just bluetooth.
A few people have retrofitted the sat nav and think that's fairly straight forward.
A dealer can easily do parking sensors too.

I wouldn't say bixenons are essential.... but then i have a non essential SatNav....
What I wish had got factory done - Sun Roof (think i can get it done by a dealer though if i want)
What Im glad I got done at the factory - Bluetooth
What I wouldnt have bothered with at the factory - iPod
What Im glad I didn't bother with at the factory - 18" option (I wanted something different anyway)
SatNav (cos I got it for half the price)
If I was in your position just work out what you really want, what would be nice and what you can afford.... then see what you can get for the money.

I fitted a Black front centre grille on mine as opposed to the original chrome one and a honeycomb grille behind it.Think it looks cool on Zenith grey car.Also got centre armrest from Seremotors and some more FR badges for each wing,original parts.
dont think so dave.
options=factory fit
accesories=dealer fit.
for me; bluetooth, sunroof, convenience, rear parking sensors, sat nav and mud flaps
Dealer quoted me for fitting a sunroof, not sure how it would compare with the factory one but they said it would close with the keyfob etc... dealer can also fit the parking sensors even though they are an option.
Can you still use the cup holders with the armrest. I have to have my morning coffee on the way to work!
My car came with everything listed in my sig. If I was buying fresh I would definatley have:
Bluetooth - Great for any phone, sometimes a little hard to be heard on the motorway but other than that a godsend
Con pack - I now couldn't live without auto lights and wipers and auto dipping rear view mirror!
18's just finish of the car IMO
Wouldn't buy:
Ipod connector. Would prefer USB or Aux in I think
Would have loved
Sunroof
Bi-xenons
Leather
But lets face it we can't have everything can we?
One other thing which I couldn't live without out is the steering wheel controls. Its amazing how much you miss them when driving other cars and I love the shape of the steering wheel (lumpy bits in just the right places!)
