Any suggestions on what i could do or just any tips to keep me on a decent track will be much appreciated
That looks like a really nice one from the outside and under the bonnet.
As others have already said, I think you'd have missed it.

Releasing ponies with a T28, better downpipe and making it all more responsive with a FMIC sounds like a good way to go - as long as it doesn't compromise reliability or leave you stuck without it while waiting for parts to get it back on the road.
I wouldn't muck about with the handling or wheels - it looks great already and you're unlikely to improve it.
Does it already have 180 brakes all round?
After that it comes down to comfort, options and preferences. What does it look like inside? Alcantara? Black Oak inserts? Have you got/could you do ATC, heated seats, all round electric windows or anything else off the options list?
What about parking sensors?

Just a few (hopefully constructive) ideas to make the driving experience more pleasurable by putting more toys in there that you might find on anything you could have upgraded to.

Ideally i would source the t28,downpipe and fmic and have it all on in 1 day!, so shouldn't be off the road too long, yeah i may just leave suspension as it has new 180 shocks and springs anyway.

Yeah it has 180 brakes all round mate with green stuff pads and ebc turbo drilled and grooved discs.

It has the alcantara interior, black oak, chrome rings and ATC. just missing the heated seats as it stands.

It had a rear bumper with parking sensors but its been removed as it wasn't the best condition, hoping to get it all sprayed up and put back on shortly
