    You can buy them.

    Bonnets are quite heavy. So you'll save quite a lot I think.

    think the clio mk2 have plastic wings

    They help them to stop dinting when people press them

    Body stylist.

    Take your rear seats out, spare wheel and as much sound deadening as possible.

    May I ask why you are weight saving?

    i was just wondering..

    would the sound deadening make a difference on its own?

    It is quite heavy and there is a lot of it under the carpet and behind the dash.
