I need a couple of decent panels in the future so was just looking around at what was about and found this! 8kg lighter than standard.. Not bad.

They look pretty good. :cool: If you need to buy some new panels, then why not. :afro:

Saw this and had to have a closer look...
The glass fibre bonnet in 'black' is my old bonnet, in 'madison blue' (nearly black). I also had front wings and boot lid made at same time, from a company near wales.
Before you bid...
The bonnet has more waves than the Atlantic, and no where to mount the hinges, unless someone has done this. It has also been re-inforced (badly) with metal rods,
Dunno where the boot lid ended up, but it was so badly made, I couldn't fit it to the car!!!
I paid a LOT for these to be made, and sold them for 10% of their cost, and when I get some money, I will be replacing the wings with steel, as those too are not smooth.
I know this sounds like I am a misserable old git, (I am sometimes... :wink:), but I don't want you suffering the same 'it's lighter = must be faster, but looks sh1t that I did.
