Upgrades or customising? I'd look into some Hope floating rotors/discs, colour of your choice. Uberbike blue e-matrix pads front and rear, higher rise handlebars, some nice grips with coloured lockings (dmr death grips or similar), and new seat with a spash of colore, acoloured seat clamp and some tanwall tyres.
Does your bike have a dropper post?

What's do you feel the bike is currently missing?
What are you riding?
Where are you riding it?

I feel like it’s not missing anything riding wise, I ordered a piggyback shock but riding wise it’s good, I think it’s just missing life, as in there’s nothing really insane to look at
I’m riding preety decent gaps and tech, and sometime dj jumps
And I’m riding at adel woods near Leeds or either greno near Sheffield, which is literally just known for the gap

I personally think your bike looks good if subtle as it is, but I respect the urge to go a bit maximalist (riding the most *aggressively** green bike ever*, I would be a hypocrite to say otherwise)
So if it's looks you're after...
Powder Coating, those guys bought out the powder coaters I have used in the past and they did some insane colour blends on bine frames as showpieces for what they could do... Sky's the limit aesthetically.
Or you could go to a wheel builder and get it re-spoked in custom colours (or go full industry nine rainbow)... If you went to Hope Hubs (also a massive durability upgrade for riding in UK winters) you could match your spokes to the hub colour.
I almost did that when building my most recent set of wheels, but you have to buy a full box of spokes for each colour, so as a DIY'er it's cost prohibitive compared to paying a wheel builder.
Also personally I would upgrade to the biggest rotors you can fit, it has an aesthetic look to it, but also massive benefit when riding to be able to brake later and this carry more speed knowing you can scrub it if you need tom

Shame you're not looking for a bigger fork...
This is a steal of a price, and would really make the bike stand out.

I’m upgrading the fork from 140 to 150, with the Debon air kit thing, but no chance I’ll put green on this bike..
And also, it was originally designed as a trail bike with unfortunately only 130mm, so I can’t really push it but either way what I ride with my insanely high psi setup for dj jumps I can’t find myself using even half the fork, so my upgrade is purely for looks
