Hurdy's new Polo GTI..project time!

[golf-sib]

Since the power's somewhat capped when will we start seeing carbon body parts coming on to lower that weight?

carbon bonnet 

[Hurdy]

Yes, looking at dropping another 50kg+ off the car.

Bonnet should save 8-10kg
Seats should save 25-35kg
Lexan glass should save 10kg
Even lighter alloys should save 4-8kg

So even with minimum savings of each that is still 47kg and would get the car to 1100kg with half a tank of fuel. With the power improvements planned I should be getting 230-240bhp/ton which should be ample............................ for now!

I haven't seen anything beyond the bonnet and front wings. I'm sure I can get something made if needed!

Roof skin! 

Performance Trim did everything for mine and if I had the money I would have bought lot, only just found out they hae ceased trading, I'm gutted. Also just found someone who has one of the last roof skins for sale for 700 notes.  wonder what else is kicking about.

Yep, I read bankrupt somewhere.  Service was going down hill rapidly.

These boys owned them and the figures don't look great.
