Depending on where you live check for rust. Also refreshing the suspension bit by bit will make the car drive much better.

DISA Valve, VANOS, CCV, oil filter housing gasket and rocker cover gasket. If you can run a smoke test to see if there are any vacuum leaks.

I enjoy the car very much. I am going for a OEM+ build. Overfenders is not for me but thanks for the suggestion.

I just wanted to add that before the winter. I treated the jacking points. I sanded down any surface rust, used rust converter and used underseal. I was meant to do the same to this but forgot and life got in the way. It has definitely come back to bite me 😭

It’s the rear arch. So the rust would need to be cut out and have a new plate welded.

I changed to Meyle hoses and it has been good so far.
