I Have taken carpets sound deadening. rear wiper rear seats and belts changed drivers seat for a lighter bucket style all boot trim and etc etc.
Thinking about cutting out boot skin ??
Changed the bonnet to a fiberglass job.
Mirrors weight a bit change them too to carbon ones.
Thats my pennies worth anyway.
