especially under the bonnet. so what can go? i guess the battery cover is a no-no. what about the engine cover? the ecu isnt protected by this. i know it wont save much but i can reduce the length of some vac pipes due to the relocation of the overboost valve and will do this when i get a new one.

any other suggestions? dont forget though this is my everyday car. if it wasnt i would be stripping it all ;D

Smaller windscreen washer reservoir = less weight (contains less water...)
Take the sound insulation off the bonnet.

could just put less water in lol. the bonnet insulation is one to think about.

you would be surprised how much weight you will loose if you take out bolts and replace them with shorter ones ..other than that you could go ona slimfast diet :P ;D

suppose i could weigh the items i remove to see what gains but how would you weigh the car?

You can get it weighed at a local tip/landfill/recycling centre. Check with them 1st but they've normally got a weighbridge for smaller vehicles dropping off recyclable waste, might not be as accurate as you'd like though :-\
