Save weight Though I reckon it's probably a minimal amount anyway.

removing the spare wheel also helps a bit

Cos mines aint got it and never had it when i got it, Mines is a 1.4 8v

It has leccy mirrors & Sunroof but no Central locking or leccy windows so maybee its one of the cheaper models. (even though i got ripped off big time)

Yes, but there are two reasons why you might not have the cover.

1) on friday afternoons, the guys at the factory don't fit a lot of things. Like the delayed interior light etc, the transmission bung, etc.
2) Are you sure your car has not had a collision, requiring new bonnet? I know that they don't refit this.

I don't know how much difference it makes, but in Germany they are a bit funny about noise polution. Light aircraft have silencers and funny props, and the cars have to meet a drive-by accoustic test. But for UK, I think its a bit hit and miss. Mine is nice and quiet. But most of you guys want to make it make more noise?
