==Elise Weight Reduction==

S1 Alarm Fob 20 grams

'''Carbon clams''' are hideous money compared to the weight saved, and don't save much at all unless they are autoclaved or vacuum formed. Benetec CF Front Clam 4.95 kg Vs std at 15 kg but cost £58k :(

Be very wary of '''polycarbonate side screens'''. They are very flexible and, with the roof fitted, flare out dramatically at speeds above 60MPH.

Early '''rear arch liners''' are 2.8 kg. Later liners are lighter.

Removing the GRP where the reversing light and fog lights are, along with the grilles and the reversing light saves about 1 kg.

The '''rubber seals around all four wheel arch liners''' (assuming you haven't ditched the arch liners) are about 200g each, and most of the boot lid seal can be removed with just token parts left in to prevent rattle giving about 1 kg of saving.

'''Exhaust''' Exige/111R Catback: 13 kg. Stage 1: 11.8 kg (saves 1.2 kg). Stage 2: 8.2 kg (saves 4.8 kg). Quicksilver Titanium: 5.2 kg (saves 7.8 kg)
