If you're only looking for noise from a filter, drill and destrict your airbox.

Can't see the point.
Thats like me putting Sport brakes on my 12volt. Its pointless unless you're having an engine conversion.

If he wants cheap and easy, drill and derestrict the airbox, then getta K&N panel filter and a aftermarket backbox.

some decent front brakes like sum 2.0 cav ones will be a good upgrade! for the sake of 20 quid for the calipers cariers discs pads from a scrappy you cant go wrong.
1.2 brakes are shite IMO some good brakes will make the car perform so much more.

which will do fuck all, so brakes and suspension off another car at about the same price is better

honestly wouldnt bother with any of it, a decent exhaust will cost a few hundred quid and wont make a noticable difference, it will just advertise to all the other cars that your thrashing the fuck out of it and going nowhere.
Save your money for a conversion or quicker corsa, you wont regret it. I did the same to my 1.4
