I'm under no illusion that the front end isn't the prettiest in the world.

tongue in cheek slipped by there then

If im gonna troll i might as well laugh with it

the sounddeadening and under carpet foam thingies were 14kg in mine. also got 3kg of useless JDM TV fittings and wires.

all the boot stuff is loads. when i stripped the red one for sound system fitting and went for a spin it was sooo much more aggressive on the torque. sounded better as well.

Exactly what I found! Especially after weeks of driving round with a full boot from moving house!

All crappy tar and foam weight in at 14kg. Replaced with aftermarket stuff FTW.
