climate you cant add at a later date so personally id hold off and make it a must have.
Xenons you could add (or atleast get one with cornering lights so it has the projector lamps and you can get an HID kit)
Cruise control, if its anything like the MK2's you can add it but its an expensive ball...
depends where in glasgow you are you might not be to far from Colin @ Car N Bike in Bonybridge, he done the full side of my ph2 172 when it got keyed and done a spot on job, saw a few of the exotics hes done too and they are spotless!
