Avoid Halfords 'performance' parts.
You can get things much cheaper online and better quality.
K&N, Green Cotton & Pipercross are a few decent brands.

Well you exhaust and a filter will need to be declared to you insurance so it will go up regardless.
Just stick a pannel filter in

Panel filter all the way.
Induction kit is going to nothing to the car apart from increasing you MPG, which for a 1.1 is the last thing you want to do with the price of petrol these days.

The K&N one is less restrictive, more air = more power.

You would get more power if you stuck you feet through the floor and ran
