Remap RSTuning.

Panel filter eBay. But if you can afford to spend more go for something like a K&N Typhoon kit.

Lowering springs demon tweeks, cituning, or pretty much anywhere that sells them.

Exhaust are things that need to be done as a custom job. No off the shelf parts. Although that car you linked too in your other post looks like it is already running a custom exhaust.

Intercooler isn't needed only for turbo charged cars the 180 doesn't have a turbo.

Anti roll bar no one makes them for the C4. But the standard ones are already rather large compared to other cars. They feel quite neutral as standard to be honest.

Cams could be worth a shout if you want more power not a cheap option though and remap will need doing after.

Wouldn't like to say figure wise as it can vary from place to place if you put it on a rolling road. As a rough guide mine has pulled anything from 176hp to 194hp on different rollers.

What you have to realise is the 180 isn't actually 180BHP. It's 174BHP, 177PS and they round it up to 180. Even then they don't always hit those figures although the C4's tend to hit them more often than a 206 with the same engine. C4 tends to have higher torque and BHP.

Chasing figures is never a good idea though it gets expensive. Also how the car drives is more important. While you might only gain 5BHP peak. It might gain 10-20 at other parts of the rev range and torque increases as well. Which will make it feel quicker than the peak figure suggests.

Peak figures are only half the story.

I would get the induction kit done. Look at the exhaust see if it has been done from the Cat back. Then get it remapped unless you want to go down the cams route. Cams and induction exhaust remap could net you 200hp if you are lucky. But talking £1200 or so for cams and install etc.

I would say spend some money on simple mods. Then do brakes better pads and fluid and braided lines. Plus springs or dampers and springs / coilovers depending on what you want. On track the coilovers made the biggest difference for me as did the brakes. Power wasn't as important n
