That's exactly what I'm aiming for! Good to hear it's possible, what have you taken out if you don't mind sharing?

My car never had 4ws and no sun roof...

iv lost sound deadening, A/C, some emissions stuff, back seats, oem seat belts, i got a carbon bonnet, stripped boot, lighter wheel and wheel nuts, lighter ARB's, i guess lighter suspension, thats it... its easy to get to that weight..!! im sure i could lose alot more if i wanted too ;)

Nice one. My 4ws is going next weekend and a CF sun roof is in the pipe line :)

Good to see I'm not aiming for the impossible, like I don't need to leave an engine and a seat :lol:

Fingers crossed. That's why I'm looking at a full roof cover, get's rid of most of those issues :)
