The boot lid is very light 7.9 kg with no trim or lights I've just weighed the one I got of Andy. So a carbon one would probably only half that! (And would cost £600+) You can move things backwards and fit smaller lighter ones like washer bottle airbox and SAI headlamp washers viscous fan(mine has been off for 6months now) all the impact structure stuff behind the bumper, radiator in the boot floor. If you could get the car light enough you may be able to keep std brembo's and discs (though ally bells would save a little more) and just change pad material, fluid, ducts, and flexis.
Cheers Dave
Ps headlight are 3kg each (bixenon) you could just use the outer polycarbonate lens
