how is it going to be "load's lighter",IMO you are not going to notice the difference when driving etc just because of c/f bonnet and boot lid, car Look's good but

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone
To be honest, this was never about weight saving, although some has been saved. The bonnet weight the same as the alu original, but the boot lid is considerably lighter.
Its more a cosmetic thing for me, when its lit up at night the carbon takes on a deep 3D effect and looks amazing, anyone know what I mean?

Cheers, Rob.
