I've always been a bit skeptical about the little bits of weight people pull out of their cars but I have to say this thread proves it all adds up. Some impressive weight saving I must say!

It's a place in aldershot near where I work. I took a piece of steel that I had cut off the shell, for them to work out the paint code. £10 a can is not bad in my eyes.

Great weight saving there Simon! I suppose it's getting more more expensive the further you take it?

Thing is, doesn't all this stuff?

As for all the Ti stuff from carl; when I was away getting shot at most days, I was getting unpleasant working pay for living like a rat in a shit hole and drinking brown water out of a well for weeks on end. So when I got home I said I wanted something to show for all of the heartache.
