Default Engine Mods.............where to start???

Have a 2000 Bugeye Uk Wagon, and wondered what are the best mods that can be done without affecting reliability or driveability.
Car is totally original with 75k and FSH, but I am not looking for silly mods, but more sensible ones.
I have started with a Prodrive full system incl Cat, and an STI scoop to get more cold air in but thats it. Wife refuses to allow a dump valve as they are too noisey for her liking, and yes this will still be the family run around as i have a van for the weekdays around London.
Can you give me your opinions of what, where, how to and how much? and the best path to approach these,
cheers

Not what you want to hear.....

Whiteline adjustable rear ARB and droplinks, soft setting for the wife, medium for you, hard for fun (trackdays or run out with the lads !).

Oh, and a re-map should squeeze a few more ponies out of her !
