I'd get a couple of PTFEs and a nozzle (the nozzle lasts a long time) or grab an Olsson-kit so you can quickly swap nozzles/nozzle sizes. If you're going to change the nozzle a PT100 can be a good thing to have as it's fairly easy to break it when you pull it out of the old block (be careful and if you can get a hint of the casing out, use some sharp side cutters to gently pry it out rather than pulling more on the wire).
As for the bowden. Yeah, I guess it can get scratched up a bit on the inside but... meh, I don't think it's a huge deal. To get the grip back on the white coupler, just cut off 1cm of the bowden to give it a fresh part to bite into and you'll be fine.

I'd love to hear from the people who have been printing for at least a year, as the first year for me went pretty smooth until the PFTE died. Now my problems are beginning. Not sure if my bowden tube will die also as i donteven need to take the blue clip out when i remove it? I have a feeling that will die, but have no idea what ill need if it does? It will mean i wont be able to do retractions anymore if it does go i pray it doesnt as it if does....i guess ill need a complete new head unit.
