Lightweight battery
Aftermarket steering wheel( the air weighs a fair bit)
remove subframe weight and bracket
Light weight alloy
Custom exhaust with no boxes othe than the back box
remove spare wheel and jack - buy AA membership

can always paint the carbon bonet, could even get light weight wings.
thing is though, by lightening up just the front end, can make it under steer if u remove enough weight (makes car less balanced)
