Good work there, Jack!

I would be interested in your rear wing motor, if you are selling?

Mine is getting tired and sometimes fails to get it fully up!

Default Carbon Bonnet!!!

Found one second hand.. will weigh it tonight, for now a couple of pics. It also came with the RS bonnet prop so i can get rid of the gas struts for more savings..
Unfortunately it is painted black and will have to stay that way till my whole car is done next year.

I think the battery saves around 10kg.

What about a primary or secondary exhaust bypass? One of those will give you 10kg too.
