Probably not worth it unless you go to town like AK, jr etc - then you suffer extra road noice & no heaters/comfort etc!!

it's not illegal, no.

if you use the car every day, don't do it, it's a complete pain in the arse.

I drove mine for a day last week with no back seats and no door cards, didnt notice any speed gain ( probs cause its a 1.2 ) it is stupidly uncomfy though

:EDIT:

I only had it all ripped out cause i was putting my GSi interior in the next day

Why is it noiser when you have no interior in?

interior acts like sound deadening. Also if you strip out the interior, it usually looks better to remove the sound deadening which makes it even noisier. It made no difference whatsoever when i stripped mine out.
