carbon fiber hood?

[Willie]

I don't! LCR210, steely!

Ha Ha, you my friend have been ripped off.
How you going to fit a steel whell over the Brembo callipers??
No chance!!
Unless they gave you a spacer too, lol

 

[AntneeUK]

That's a good point! May as well take it out then! Dammit, will be needing to buy a new one, or hope that if I get a puncture that it's on the rear. Dammit again!

have to plonk steely on the back and swap a wheel from the back if you gota front punture.

if an 18inch alloy and tyre weighs that much then surely a 205/55/16 steely will weigh more??

as soon as it stops hailing im going out and its comeing out

Back on topic.
If your looking for weight saving then carbon bonnet is way down the line.
If you looking for an excuse to get a carbon bonnet then weight saving is a good one, lol

well, I got rid of the spare tyre and replaced it with one of those cans. Im not going to strip the interior, however placing the battery where the spare tyre used to be might come this spring.

My car is my hobby and thats why I fiddle with these little things, also after some trackdays this year Im kinda hooked

On an A3/S3 they claim to save 25-30lbs roughly 12kg. Besides on my black LCR I think it also would look ok..

 

[Willie]

Even if you don't want to strip out the interior you can remove the fire proof matting the would save you about 25-30 Kgs without changing the look of the interior

 

[Dani_b19]

Weres the fire proof matting?

 

[Willie]

Under the front carpets, behind the dash and under the front seats

 

[DJ-LIAMC]

If your not bothered about saving weight but want a carbon look get it vinyl wrapped

 

[Dani_b19]

Is it, dont think theres any under my my front carpet, pretty sure there isnt, but mine is the s3, we are talking about the dark grey material that has cloured spec's etc in it?

 

[Willie]

Na it's more like nomex
Sort of off white and sort of sticky
Thick and very heavy
