No probs. The rear ones are meant to way a fair bit, for safety purposes I imagine

I don't think the rear seats weigh much at all.

Agree with Josh. I had a stripped out 106 gti and loved it, the road noise was part of the experience!

ive been reading up and the seats all in are 25k im guna get the scales out.
sam221 it has made a lot of difference i think. the road noise isent bad i thought it would be but with the carpets still in and sides the noise is dulled a lot. also i have taken out the spare wheel jack all of that stuff. with an empty take and some strong arms you could lift it up just lol

the front seats do weigh quite a bit, the rears aren't anything substantial though. Mostly foam, where as the fronts have the metal frames etc.

The carpets, sound deadening and roof lining weighed 20kg alone in my Lupo

You want it like my lupo You might want a seat tho

As soon as you take off the side cards you will notice a big increase in road noise. Makes you s**t yourself when you go over gravel for the first few times!!
