Removing back seats - is this ok?

So I want to take the back seats out of my car, as well as basically all the interior plastic, so its pretty much bare metal from the front seats back.

Is this legal!

Don't forget to wear your cap backwards.

Should improve the power to weight ratio then.

One (desperate) way to save fuel.
Might be the beginning of something big.

Why do you want to remove the back seats & plastic trim out of curiousity!

As an aside - wearing ones cap backwards is not a definiton of coolness, to me it suggests quite the opposite imho.

From LVV Tech page: There's no problem with saving weight but be sure not to remove any of the interior trim or padding around the dashboard or the front seats like door panels or pillar covering, where sharp edges might be exposed. Assuming that's all OK and there are no sharp nasty bits, the only remaining issue is the rear seat removal.
If your vehicle was a van, seat removal might affect the class of vehicle, but as yours is a car, you may remove rear seats, and even the passenger seat without LVV certification. You should point out to the WoF issuer that they will find this on page 7-1-2 of the VIRM.
