IMHO.
Any idea where can I go to find out the front and back, or four corners?   How much is the cost ?

Autokinetics and Cornerweight are two outfits I know offering the service

but to me its a bit of a fool's errand doing it to a daily driver unless you suspect something is seriously off with your car's handling

which it shouldn't be if it is fairly stock from the factory (having safe and forgiving settings)

Even if you get it perfect, all you need is to put stuff in the trunk or take a passenger and your weight distribution is off again...

My car too early for inspection.  I wrote to Vicom,  I think either they don't know what I am asking or they think I am crazy. 🤣

Thanks for the info.  Will check them out.  Hope it is not to ex. 
I am doing this for my own learning relating to tyre pressure.

Tyre's Pressure need to be so Precise.?Then most important,you need an Air Compressor at Home,with a Good Tyre Inflator,also the Weight of yourself.

If you want to be so Precise,the Pressure need to measure when Car is totally cold.

IMHO.
Battery technology has come a long way to be close if not exceed mains.
Tools that run previously using mains or compressors,  are  gradually being replaced by battery powered.

Then you should buy a full EV...NOT all Tools are replaceable with Battery Operated.

I bought 4 digital platform weighing scales similar to these

scales.jpg.4c87e88a04cd33546ce33332276720ea.jpg

then I realised they need to sit on a perfectly flat (relative to the earth) and levelled (relative to each other) platforms to get accurate readings

meaning I also need these adjustable platforms

haven't do anything yet, there are still in the box

IMHO, do you have adjustable coilovers? IMHO, if not then whats the point?

IMHO no need to go about such a convoluted way to get the weight of your wife. .....🤣
