weight info for parts...?
 
I'm sure You know this:-)

oem front seat weight ? thinking if change can help here, probably not much
rear seat removal - 17kg (already seen thread)
supersprint back box - 15kg? just guess
big brakes probably same weight are close
lighter wheels probably does not exist or not much

/I know air con can be removed and radio and speakres, but these i want to keep/

You can save around 1.5kg per wheel by choosing a lighter style.

Front seat replacement will save a fair amount of weight also as well as removing all the crap from the boot.

This seat is also available in an ultra-lightweight Carbon-Kevlar CFK Composite, ideal for fitting to vehicles where shedding weight is a priority. The Carbon-Kevlar Pole Position ABE only weighs an incredible 4.5kg - perfect for the driver searching for the optimum racing performance

be a bit careful as sat weights are always given ex cushions, mounts and sliders so make sure you add them for the comparison against CSL seats

my recordsm estimtaed that CSL to Recaro XPG saved around 5kg and Recaro XPG to Carbon saved a further 3 kg
