had you thought of making molds of your originals and laying up some panels of your own (even though fibreglass is evil stuff ) ?

I know some guys in the US make them, but I\'m dubius that a fibreglass panel will be that much lighter than the stock front wings as they don\'t weigh that much. a single skin bonnet may be worth the effort though.

Did you get to check on those wheels ?

Cheers

Yeah we have thought of doing our own but like you say it is evil stuff.
I have heard that someone in the uk has door moulds but i am waiting to find out on that.
I want to replace alot of part with fglass as the shell i have just got from WGT last saturday is mint and it would be a shame to ruin good panels if i got to close to a chicane.
You should have  a pic of the wheel by now. Sent it 5 mins ago to your email
Cheers
Brian

cheers, got the photo and have replied.

I\'d check some of the US supliers for the fibreglass bits, I\'m pretty sure I\'ve seen them somewhere ... just can\'t recall where at the moment !
