Must admit, I do like the look.
This is FORD country, on a quiet day you can hear Vauxhalls rusting. |

19th Dec, 2013 at 02:40:45pmPM User | Quote Too be honest the roof wasn't really a massive saving only a few kg! The main saving was the doors with force racing hinges and I dont have any handles locks or even door cards, if you want seriously light seats tillet seats are the boys weighting around 3.4kg but cost 1800 pound for two!! Check out my thread mate, cheers lee Right there you did. unless these arent the seats you were on about. i cant see much difference, (with the ebay shite)

At the end of the day mate it's my personal opinion it's my car. Exactly! Not sure why people seem to be getting funny with you. Good luck with the weight saving, i'm sure you'll find ideas on here! Out of curiosity, how do you open the doors from the outside if you have no handles? Remote opening/poppers? Could you not lose a few more grams from the handbrake lever etc, it looks awfully standard? |

How do you plan to mount the seats? My Elise seats were only 6kg, but custom frame and sliders were another 3.5kg Class C 3rd Place Avon 2011 14.18 @101mph |

I need to fashion some for similar seats and not too sure how to tackle it! Have you considered the generic side mount kits? Would they have too much flex in them? |
