What will be the weight difference between FRP and carbon fibre packages of wings and front splitter?

Pavan,

Who are you? What University do you represent?

It is polite to introduce yourself

The question you ask is impossible to answer without knowing some details of your aero package

What's the density of FRP, and what's the density of carbon fiber? That's pretty much your answer right there.

Adding to the above, what sort of strength/stiffness is required? How many layers of GFRP/CFRP/anything is required to have the same (required) strength and stiffness? All of the above are basic composites calculations. Oh, BTW, FRP refers to "Fiber Reinforced Polymer", which includes carbon fiber, so essentially the answer to your question would be zero...
