thanks very much mates!!!! the links works perfectly!!!
i think to lighten up the front is very good for the balance of the car,the brakes works more easily and the suspension the same. :!:

If you are concentrating on the front then swap the bonnet for a fibreglass one. Replace the battery with a Red Top and put it in the rear of the car. Swap both front seats for some lightweight buckets. Swap the sunroof (if you have one) for a rivetted-in sheet of aluminium. I've saved nearly 200kg from my car and half of that must be from the front, although junking the spare, cage and rear seats was the easy saving in the rear.

the carbon fibre bonnet i run it's weights about 3.5 kgr.i don't have rear seats,no sunroof,no "blanket" on the roof,lighter wheels.the next step is the light batery and back door for sure :D

I got my fibreglass tailgate from Stan off this forum. It's the white one on the left...
