    Sounds about right. My 4 door mk2 was in the 1050-1070kg range from memory.

    They aren’t as light as people think haha!

    Yea good to know. From your experience with the mk3, what was the quickest way you shedded off some kg's? You can't tell me to cut my floor out and run around with a 50mm hole saw lol!

    Haha! For Mk3 they have pretty heavy sandbag mat’s under the carpet for sound deadening. You can also remove the crash bars at the front and rear.

    Change alternators for a smaller one.

    Lightweight battery. Otherwise everything else involves cutting or lots of money.

    All body deadener removed already, crash bars are already replaced with the plastic junk bumpers from Heritage, alternator and battery would be my options. Don't think I'll make it!
