A few good polishes should bring the red back (I assumed the pink is faded red!). Slightly aging red cars fade in the sun due to a different chemical make-up than newer red shades (which were 'updated' to reduce fade) You should polish it once a month at least and to restore it you need to polish it maybe 3 / 4 times before it stays.
If you do want to paint them then even a bodyshop shouldn't give you 'massive bills'! Mirrors can be done DIY but would be a good idea to call up a body shop to do the spoiler. Good Luck with it!

I think Meguires has a wax made for Red paint. I'm not 100% sure if they're the ones to make it or if another company makes it.....Just go to your local auto part store, and they may have it or atleast know where to get it

Been hunting on the internet a bit -> Seems that GReddy / Mugen Headers are the way to go with any sort of 2 / 2.25 exhaust which leaves that a bit open to any brands that you like or are in your price range at the end of the day. I have heard good feedback for AEM honda parts but there are probably 'better' alternatives as AEM brought out their honda range quite a while back now!
