I don't know if anybody went into this territory with a JWC but I think I'm going to...

Let's see if I've got it right:

Drop the back seats.
Swap race buckets for the front seats (which in my car are Recaros, they're a beauty but seem pretty bulky and heavy).
Put an alu radiator if the OEM is brass (is it brass?).
Drop windshield wash bottle (also rear).
Carbon boot (it seems pretty heavy.
Lexan windows, windshield and back glass.
Gut both doors.
Dump A/C and ancillaries.
Dump spare wheel, if there's any.

As I'm not a billionaire I won't go into forged monoblock wheel, carbon body goodies (other then the boot), carbon trans, among other expensive thingies.

I might consider putting myself on a diet after the Christmas heavy eting and drinking (I know some would had suggested this one...hehe)

What else?
