    Anyone know how much 355 parts weigh?

    Front Bumper, stripped?
    Rear Bumper?
    Hood?
    Deck lid?
    Doors (gutted)?

    I am guessing that given your kg units, you're not in the US. Aren't US bumpers heavier? Doors too I'd guess.

    I had my bumpers off for painting just simple fibreglass with no reinforcements noticeable, can't see making them any lighter, euro cars must be identical

    I think its often the thickness of the fibreglass and aren't they reinforced, I certainly know the Euro 308's bumpers are a lot lighter than the US version

    Owning a shop, I've had a good number of bumpers off of 355s and they are way heavy vs. a race weight composite unit. I just never weighed them. US bumper rear has to be 45-50 lbs. Front is more.
