3mm would do the job, but 5mm can take much more of battering.

It's a track car.

It should be about the weight, not the battering.

Danny probably has the same stuff to hand, so can take a better view on this - I'd go with him - 3mm.

i work with the stuff everyday and 5mm is much harder to break than 3mm. but i dont think you break it when its used as a door card. if it all about weight - 3mm ftw afro

Today has not been a good day.

Fitted the plastic trim between the bumper and lower valance which went fine. Decided to remove the mats in the car so I can start stripping the underseal and painting up the floor to make it look tidier. I really wish I hadn't. The mats were screwed down, I thought to stop them moving, but no. Under the passenger one I have found what can best be described as a f@&king great hole that's been hacked into the sloping part of the bulk head. It looks like it's been cut open to weld in a new captive nut for what I think is the rearmost subframe bolt on the passenger side. It's a f@&king mess and I'm a bit peed off to put it mildly. So peed off I put the mat back in gave up doing anything else on the car this weekend.
