Possibly buying my gf's 2006 Cooper S - Automatic. Have questions

Long story short, I was with her on test drive and delivery. I have basically been the chauffeur during her ownership, whenever we both were in her cooper s.

too many cars in both families so i rather sell my car and buy hers. Couple questions since i am sort of new to mini aftermarket.

1. Do the john cooper works front and rear aero kits come pre painted or do i have to paint? and where can i buy at best price?

2. She does not have xenons and i cant stand it. I upgraded the stock bulbs a while ago and its better than before, but still not good as oem Xenon HID.
What is the best xenon replacement kit? I prefer function over bling. I want to see the road at night! i dont care about color or hue it emits. White would be best.

Skim throught old threads on "Electrical" section, you'll need a Xenon ballast as well, kinda expensive to retrofit. I think Hella makes a kit for MINI specifically.
