With a 10€ ELM327 ODB II bluetooth connector and a free app like Torque, you can monitor fuel pressure while driving.
If it drops below 50bar when it stutters, the HPFP is faulty.
It doesn't seem like a very expensive repair, if you can get a front bumper at a reasonable price, even if it's a different colour it can be repainted.
The bonnet looks like it can be repaired and repainted, the damage to the aluminium seems minor.
You would also need to get a side mirror...
Depending on the defect, the ECU disconnects the turbo, the engine runs out of turbo pressure and I believe the maximum speed of the car in that condition could be around 150 km/h.
I have a 32GB SD card installed and it works fine, I assume a 64GB one will work just as well.
The card must be formatted on the computer using FAT format and full format, not quick format.
New rims can be expensive, so you should also consider taking them to a restoration shop where they can repair scratches and dents and paint them the colour you want.

When changing the oil filter, it is normal for a little oil to drip underneath, it does not have to mean that there is a leak.
Lately my car occasionally gives the P0299 fault, today I took some photos with an endoscope through the hole in the Lambda sanda.
I think the turbo will have to be replaced :(. Wastegate is broken
Do you buy another radio just like the one that only works partially ?
The problem when installing different equipment than the original one on the car when it left the factory is that the car does not have the proper wiring and the proper programming of the control units and the result is that...
My car is from 2010 and the arches are perfect, I don't think it has ever been through a car wash tunnel
It has always been washed with a pressure gun.

The stem doesn't look bad, where a lot of carbon normally accumulates, it looks clean.
The car consumes 1 liter of oil every 4000km, through the turbo, the air ducts after the...
