if it was me i would get a fmic as your top mount is way too smalll and then a remap you will need a piggy back ecu apexi or mines, these mods will set you back around 600/800 quid but you will be safe with more power and not have to worry about knock or det.

Personally i wouldn't do anything.
This is a new car to you.
You don't know what mods have been done
You don't know how the car's running.
Don't spend unnecessary money in case something happens that needs to be done, then you don't have the cash.
I would take it to an independent specialist and ask them to test the car.
One that has a rolling road so they can test it properly.
£100-150 is going to tell you the mods are working OK
Or
You need to do (whatever) before the engine goes pop.
Be careful, lots of people will say MOD! MOD! MOD!
Get used to the car first, get to know the car, get to know what's normal and then when something isn't normal you will know.
Personal, unless you're going to put £1000's into the car, I'd leave it as it is.
Why spend £1000's on a car when the mod's will out-way the value of that car?
Just my own opinion, just be careful on who you use and what you do.
Take care.
