Fibreglass panels
« on: 22 February 2006, 15:55 »
Been looking on the web for a bit now looking for fibreglass bonnets and tailgates.  Anybody know of a place that does them.

Need to get the weight of the car down a bit more.

They don't stuff for VWs yet but maybe you want to partner with these guys to do a run and sell them to other members?

Hi..........i've just had my Carbon fibre doors arrive for my mk3 golf 5 door version and i can't believe how light they weigh (5kilo's each) i have some pictures of one of the doors if any one is interested in these or the 3 door versions.......or for that matter the mk3 tailgate , wings , dashboard , or for people who want to be really radical the full A59 rally carbon fibre kit.

Which is for the 3 door golf only as we all know....give me a pm with your email address so i can send you the pictures , but i will try and put them up on here if i can  :cry: not really good at tech stuff on comp.

Alot of companys will do GRP, Carbon Fibre and Kevlar if enough intrest is shown.

Whats the point in spending over £1,000 in doing moulds if you dont sell any?

Normally an order of 10 or more is the starting point!

(i would expect a mk2 bonnet to cost £125 - £150 for a double skin)

Doors wouldn't be a good idea unless you have a full rollcage with side protection cross overs.  Have you seen the mess a T-Bone accident makes......
