I would be interested in a bonnet and tail gate for a mk1.

I would be using bonnet pins not the latch, and no rear wiper or lock.


Possible be interested in wings depending on cost.

In the interests of safety and keeping these products available, I reserve the right to change the price and weight of each panel at any time and without notice.

Please note the waiting time for the carbon doors could be up to 3 months from the date of ordering. I will not sell these doors in any material unless they are intended for motor sport use and the car is fitted with a full roll cage including door bars, this is for your safety and my peace of mind.

Hope this helps you plan your build. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any more queries. I will keep the price and weight data updated as and when it changes. Just email me to check, unfortunately no website yet.

let me know if any interest

any news on mk2 panels?

[tallchap]

Hi chaps,

I am currently talking to a chap that has moulds for double skinned bonnet and boot, plus he is making moulds for the doors too. I am trying to buy the moulds from him and will then get a local company to start production. They will provide either panels individually or as a complete kit (with perspex windows, if required), via their website. They will be able to make fibreglass/gel coat panels that can be painted, or carbon fibre finish. Each hinged panel will have threaded inserts for hinges and catches to bolt to in the standard positions.

Hope that all makes sense, will let you have more info as soon as it is available regarding timings and prices, etc.

Cheers,

Martin
