Investment advice

Hey all, I'm new here but I needed some advice on this R53 '06 MCS manual I'm getting from family. It has around 153,000 miles on it if I remember correctly and runs and drives well. It has a check engine light last time I was in it but I didn't notice anything wrong with the overall driving experience. I just wanted to know if it was really worth it to divert money into stuff beside general maintenance, such as a JCW grille, rims, and general QOL upgrades, given that it is an almost 20 year old car with a decently high mileage. It would be my daily for commuting, but also for spiriting driving. Thanks!
