Not 100% essential, but will aid even further gains.
What you must do is get the car re-mapped once these are fitted, they dramatically alter the way the car breathes. A re-map will also ensure you get the most out of your mods.

Thankyou sir, and agree, if your budget allows then ceramic coating is far far far superior to any wrap

Good luck.
Took me 2 days to wrap mine. Wear some mechanics gloves and when they're done spray them with some high temp paint. Found out after I had fitted mine that this helps to prolong the life of the wrap.

Did you want if for the weekend? Pretty sure i still have an unopened roll at home in the shed. Only thing i haven't got is the wire thay they give you with it to tie it onto the headers. Which i dare say you can get from b&q etc.
