    Spare wheel out, that will save you a bit of weight...
    
    But if you want to save weight without anything noticably missing from teh car, you will have to replace parts with lighter ones. Fibreglass bonnet, for example.

    Personally I don't think theres much point unless your going the full wack because you won't notice a small amount and will just be left with a noisy rattly car (well more noisy and rattly)

    Well if its half hers, then strip it fully and give her all the bits. Tell her thats her half of the car, sorted.
