Default repairs to 2001 XKR Jaguar

Hello and Happy New Year to all,

my XKR is in a NEW shop as of Tuesday, the diagnosis:
I need 2 new Fuel pumps and have a crack in the radiator.
The repairs will be done, my question is, is there anything else I should or could do at the same time to upgrade the repairs.
The after market warranty co. will pay for the stated repairs but I thought maybe there are other things I could afford to do that would be of benefit cost wise with the repair.
The pumps will be 2 new Jaguar pumps and the radiator will be a aftermarket radiator.

The Jaguar dealers radiator was 895.00 and the aftermarket is 200.00 cheaper. Anyone think that is problem?

Thanks for any suggestions.

I would replace the fuel level sender while they are in the tank. It includes a new link lead for one of the fuel pumps, which might be needed anyway, since they tend to deteriorate or burn up when the pumps fail.
