Im in two minds whether to fit a hardboard (3mm) floor and cover than in matching leather or whether to just lay down the leather directly?
Obviously the latter will look worse but after feeling what the car is like without the extra weight im reluctant to put a few KGS of wood in there...

^Already done 
Upgraded the fronts to infinity components and removed the rears completely as one was out of order and now I have no need/desire to replace the rear ones.
Whats the legalities with removing a spare wheel? I do a lot of miles away from home and away from my tools etc so I might need a spare wheel one day.
Think I will go for the hardboard

The bonnet headlining weighs nothing, unless you like the noise id consider putting it back in. I thought it'd be heavier before i removed it!
Good efforts though mate, you happy with how it drives? Remove 2 psi from the rear to compensate for the weight loss, should be able to run rears 4 lower than fronts.
Its fine to remove spare wheel mate. Just make sure you have AA membership...

Looks good, Im thinking of doing this and getting some hardboard and getting some carpet to match the interior. Im not sure if the rear will become too high though?

Get a can of tyre foam. Wouldn't bother with the hardboard or leather personally. Get the side plastics out and matt black everything
?
Havn't had a chance to properly see how it handles differently in the corners, but im currently running 33psi front and 30psi rear, so maybe i should use 29/28psi at the rear instead?
Get it lowered! Im planning to
Did consider this, but it is my daily work horse so im not sure I could put up with all the rattles.

Its lowered by 45mm ebiach sportlines I suggest you go lower though now youve stripped it out a bit

Sorry, I mean when you lower it go lower than 45mm if youve stripped out your car, as if you lower the back 60mm with a stripped otu car it probs lower it more like 50mm or so

Looks good,niticble difference?I did mine the other day and couldn't really tell the difference.I wouldn't put wood down as that will probably wiegh more than a rear bench

Id advise not taking the spare out of the car, we were out on a meet and my tire blew out ofc having a cup i have tyre foam lets say it was rather useless. Not on my own pc to link the pic but check out this thread for the results of tyre foam

Whichever has fuel
Stripped?? All you've removed is a piece of card from the boot floor and the rear seat which weighs less than my 10 o Clock dump.
Get the spare wheel out, the seatbelts out, the rear bar out, the rear plastics/speakers out.....
Come on, don't delay!

I've already taken the seatbelts, speakers and isofix bar out! See the pic. I also took the subwoofer out which weighed way too much!!!
All that's left is the plastics/carpet (I'm taking the rear wiper out soon so no motor there) and I can't see them weighing that much? Also I'd imagine it would rattle loads lol
^^
The best way to make them faster.. (if you can call it that)

Would it look better though? Thats the main thing... I know a 1.2 can never be fast lol
Do you have a dynorod frequent customer discount?
I've never looked into them, but I think so..
The ones on k-tec are 300 odd pound anyway.
Will look alright stripped without one though! (with sport seats anyway).

Surely stripped the rear but putting a rollcage in would even out some of the weight lost so the back would still sit nicely? (Ie not too high?)
and btw lol @ me hijacking my own thread
But on another note, my hardboard panel should be here today, leather fabric should be here too either today or tomorrow. But im going up to uni on thursday so not sure if i'll get a chance to fit everything before then.
