need cage
your saving about 20-40kg's
but putting roughly the same back into it
will aid the handling of the car, but havent got the £££ before PVS, need a few other bits first

do you realise how much efforts it taken to get the car form a perfectly usalble state to the point where it cant be used in anything other than sunny weather for it may lead the car to mist up as i have no way of clering the screen etc

Maybe a handle on the front to wind it up? Batterys are quite heavy! But seriously just looked in your garage JR never truly realised how stripped your car is. Spent the last 15 mins trying to work out what you can get shut of that isnt needed!

Carbon boot floor? Perspex windows yes do this.
I'm sure Dave BAT would be up for making carbon bits. Might just give him the GSi for a bit for moulds, it needs painting anyway. He's already got carbon doors in the shop, problem is they're attached to his rally car

Can you find out how much he charges - I pulled £500 for each wing out of thin air - and the guy jumped at it - he said it was a fantastic price- now I'm thinking should have charged more
