It's a great printer with that heated bed. It's more important to know what you want to do with it. If you really want to print Nylon or other higher temp material then covering the sides, front and top is a must.
If you want dual filament printing then look at the mark2 project on this forum (use google to search for mark2 within the ultimaker.com domain).
But really instead of concentrating on the printer, find some nice projects. Look for needs. Maybe a better soap dish, or a replacement knob. Walk around your house or work or church or whatever looking for needs. Then think about solutions. Then think about the printer as the last step.

The heated bed is probably the best upgrade you could have done to your UMO. Keeping it simple, I would upgrade the fan shroud to the "tapir" one you can find on YouMagine by nhfoley. I tested a few different ones on my UMO+ and found that this one works well. I felt there were too many "gotchas" with going to a dual fan setup like the UM2, but you could look into those too.

There is an upgraded feeder by bertho available on Thingiverse, if yours has the old style. The upgrade has adjustable spring tension, so you might want to look into that.

There are many more mods you could do such as GT2 belt upgrade, etc., but the two above are the important ones, in my opinion.
