PAS pumps?
Lightweight battery?
Carpets & sound deadening (guessing already done)
All the foam bumper inserts
Passenger-side mirror
Any glass that hasn't been swapped out for plastic.
....may as well remove the rear brakes entirely, thinking about it :)
There aren't many of these Gallic sheds I like, but Cubs one is one of them.
The other is Matts LY 197.
Pretty much every other is interchangeable and meh
Take mods money
Spend it on track days and fuel.
More fun in an afternoon on a track than months of dragging your sump over speedbumps and watching out for speedguns around every corner.
But that's just sensible talking, clearly what you should do is piss thousands away on go-faster bits that...
Any kind of open-cone intake is going to sound chavalicious, whilst at the same time robbing you of a few HP.
Well done at ditching the exhaust too, you may be the first person on CS looking to make their car sound LESS hideous :)
If you want to be able to maximise the amount of prospective buyer, put the cat back in. I, for one, wouldn't go buying a car that, legally, is already broken.
Keep the de-cat pipe as a bargaining chip for when an "enthusiast" comes along and knocks you down by £1500 because of reasons. If you...

COuld be a shagged bottom end for all we know, one mid-def video looking at a rocker cover with the sound of a 1970's diesel in the background doesn't say a lot.
As above, if you're looking to use the car as a daily, then removing all suspension travel and exhaust muffling will likely be something you regret after the first 100 miles.
OEM exhausts are made of soft cheese, so a good quality aftermarket one would be a good move, by the time you've bought...
There is also that ^ yes.
Thinking about it, the £100 saving will be chewed up within 3 fill ups as you'll probably do about 50% mpg while you grin and redline the old trolley everywhere.
Since you'll need to be feeding it high-octane unleaded* this will soon go through your perceiving savings...
