Help with mods and upkeep

Hi Everyone, just had a couple of questions regarding my w211 E55. Its a late 03 model with now 71k miles on it and was garage kept and completely stock, its currently my daily until i buy another car. Ive since done some mods to the appearance such as face lift, wing etc and just cooling mods. Bigger primary and secondary intercooler with ice box. My plan was to do a 83mm pulley + long tubes and tune but im doing a refresh on most wear items such as the upper and lower ball joints (there is little play in them), engine mounts, the o ring in the oil pump, flex plates and center support (there is a little vibration when under load) and spark plugs since its almost time for them. But now i was thinking of doing injectors since the car is 20 years old and i dont want one to get stuck open, but if i do that, would it be worth upgrading to 550cc and going 77mm pulley? I get a discount from mb parts so getting stock injectors wouldn’t be to pricey for me. And if there is anything else anyone recommends me doing in maintenance please let me know, i want to ensure this is a clean good running E55 as it is one of my dream cars. I have already changed transmission mount and fluid with connector and i change the oil every 5k miles and have flushed the coolant. Supercharger fluid and dif oil haven’t been changed yet.

Is that an oem facelift front bumper?
I've got an all original 1 owner 50k mile 04 E55 and was going to respray the front bumper and hood from rock chips. This had me wondering if I should just go to this more aggressive looking option.... 🤔

Yeah its oem styled, i purchased it from suvneer so its not a genuine mercedes bumper. The kit is nice, it comes with almost everything you need to do the swap including lip and grill. i do regret not putting paint protection film on it. As there are already a few deep rock chips. I also installed their day time running lights and like how it came out
