RS3 Weight - Quick Check

Curious about RS3 weights guys: what’s the weight of the stock bonnet/hood? RS3 8V Saloon 2018

Wondering if a carbon fibre hood instead would be considerably lighter than the stock steel one to reduce weight over front wheels and improve mpg or handling at same time?

Improve MPG ?
You aren’t the guy off the other forum that’s moaning about MPG and wanting to convert his FL to LPG ?

LOL, nope not me, just looking to shave the kg's off the car and considering performance mods but i'm new to mods. just curious about weights and where savings can be made across the RS3

I have steel brakes, B&O tech pack, no pano,
maybe considering switching stock suspension (i have mag ride) to MSS - dont know if theres also weight savings going from stock to MSS though

This is my newbie understanding of performance gains from weight savings aspect by swapping out parts let me know if either the savings are minimal or if it's just wrong (sorry in advance to you pros):
Swapping out stock brakes for ceramics, stock suspension for performance springs, forged magnesium alloys, decat downpipe, other minor swaps to carbon versions: diffusor, spoiler and curious about the bonnet now

and no, not swapping out rear seats haha - need those
