hi
bumpers are very heavy and the brackets holding them to your car so fiberglass bumpers fitted with simple aluminium brackets is good keep in mind you get different weight fiberglasses and the thick stuff can be the same as steel anyway!
ive replaced all my door panels with 1mm ally sheet should look nice when i get around to polishing it ! rear seats in a sqr are heavy as well ive made my own they are considerable lighter
did have glass front and rear bumpers till some idiot reversed into the front of my car rendering the front one totally unrepairable anybody know where i can find typ3 glass front bumpers! theres a lot to be saved simple aluminium l shaped brackets help to.
fit a typ4 engine you can then put your tool box in your garage that saves a few kilos .
take all the rubish out of your car and put it in the bin where it should be!:silly:
heat exchangers on your engine weigh a ton ! get rid and fit an eberspacher this you just take out in the spring when it warms up.
dont fit porsch seats as they are damn heavy especially with the motors 28kg!!! (im fitting them anyway as i like the look and boy are the comfortable
fit a slide back sunroof ! as viynle (sp) weighs less than steel
and lastly yet most controvertional dont fit wheels bigger than you need ! ok ok i know its not necersarily the size but the width of wheels that makes them heavy no need for 8 inch wide wheels on the back when 6 will do and weigh a lot less im in termoil at the minute with a set of pedrinis (very light sat there ) and a set of design 90s 6x16 i cant decide which to fit!!
and yes drill holes in everything
