probably 3kgs? oem bonnet is quite heavy...but dont think you'd notice much difference in performance anyway to be honest

less about 4Kg which helps a bit with front/rear ratio

But you want a higher front/rear ratio for better corner exit traction dont you?

to make it perfectly clear im not saying that any weight loss is bad, just not for the sake of the ratio.

Price to weight loss ratio is not worth it.

Spend your money elsewhere, unless of course you're in it purely for the look.

Dieting. Personally, I suck at it, as do many people throughout the world. But it doesn’t mean we don’t try........

just do 4kg worth of metal cutting to your metal bonnet
and use some vents to fill in hole
save weight that way cheaper too
