Re: carbonfiber

Undercarrage? Do you mean the subframes? The tiny bit of weight you would save wouldn't even come close to the insane price you would have to pay. Anything is possible with enough money though. Also I would constantly be worried about vibrations and jolts from the drivetrain and suspension causing cracks or fractures in the parts. Honestly don't worry about trying to lighten the MKIII too much when you can simply add more rubber under the car and more power under the hood. You are only going to get down to 3000lbs or so and the more weight you remove the more uncomfortable the car becomes.
