So Ive shed a few kilos off the front end but added a 6 splitter.

The big changes are swapping from pug twin fans to a single large slimline (its wedged between the cross member and the slam panel). Reducing the amount of wiring for the fans and swapping to a smaller washer bottle that is eventually going to be mounted on the back of the ECU box.

In total its about another 10kg off and theres still a little more to come off.

Surprised you didn't rid the front bumper of the white support on the inside.
Chris crowther I think his name is managed to get his 6 Down to ~900kgs
He also makes polycarb windows too to save weight and they're not that expensive. He even makes them with the runner holes in them so you can open them too :-)

Wouldn't want polycarb windows on a road car to be honest, other sacrifices to be made first!

GRP panels if they're cheap enough would be a good bet. It's finding the line between losing the weight and ruining the appearance though...

What's up with polycarb windows lol there really isn't much of a difference. He also single skinned his bonnet too rather than going CF route

It would but then youd hear my car tapping (obviously not as loud as Eds) and we cant have that.

Perspex is rubbish, it cracks, it discolours, dosent like being bent, isnt UV resistant etc etc

you want polycarbonate and if your interested theres a company that sells their offcuts of polycarbonate on ebay for not alot.
