I'll weigh it and the new panel. Honestly tho, it doesn't weigh enough as be worthwhile

Haha, get some hillclimbs done!

I'm probably going to do some rounds of SLS this year. Its a bit too modified for hill climbs really. Would have no chance of being competitive

 

[vroomtshh]

Couple more bits to do away with the Renault wiring when the interior is done

 

[vroomtshh]

Cheers. The 182 floor is the exact same weight currently. But hopefully once all the underseal is off I'll have saved 100g or so ?
