OK, quite a major update today....
I got the BMWP front bumper fitted - a total game changer for the front end IMHO
I got the PDC holes smoothed out in the end and also the xenon washer jet holes cut out for a total of £140, the job is perfect so I'm a happy guy!!
I also opted to have the ducts and lower grilles painted gloss black too instead of the stock matte plastic finish which works well with the white I feel.
Here are some decent DSLR shots (the first I've actually taken of this car!!!):

I also shot a couple of pics of the brakes and new ride height (it is lower at the rear, but the camber on that road had it sitting weird!)

Sadly I had to put a numberplate back on, so I opted for a shortened height plate, but still using UK road legal lettering, looks much better than the old gigantic thing I had on the M Sport front end...
No decent pics apart from this crappy iPhone shot..
