Finally, looks like Base can only be had with 6MT, not with the ZF 8AT as I've understood. Is that correct? (It's been clear the Comp cant be optioned with a 6mt, but i couldnt tell if the base model is unable to get the 8AT..)

Replacing ABS or PP plastics with (fake) composite carbon-fibre doesn't reduce the weight, it enhances the looks. Replacing the steel of the roof with real composite CF reduces the weight with ~8kgs. So don't expect miracles from half a shopping cart full of CF panels, like mirror caps, rear diffusors or dash lay-ins.
