copious amounts of silicone hose to replace your vaccum lines as no doubt they will be split
new clamps, spring clips and jubliee clips
oil and filter
coolant
new timing belt and tensioner for peace of mind 

thats just a few things in my head lol

and most importantly a steady supply of bacon butties and mugs of tea

can get plenty of straight hose for free , and jubliee clips  bacon and egg butties are wifes dept, plus you also forgot new engine mounts, 

edit: plus i know where some g12 coolant is

they definitely different from the 2.0 then? not 100% - i know the dog bone mount is the same but its worth getting a new one

looks like your new discount card will be getting a hammering
