fibreglass bonnet or bootlid.
Deseam
Debumper
Rear Valence
Sliding poly windows removes winder mechanism. fixed poly rear side windows.
spare wheel
go on a diet
not a whole lot else left really, unless you want to remove seats, carpets, etc.

doors weigh a tonne!!! but fiberglass ones flex at high speed.
you can replace loads of panels with FG/ CF ones
reducing weight just alters the power to weight ratio... so the other option is to increase power.

or reduce frontal area / resistance, (hence the deseaming).

Or smaller wheels, lower the car?
