Thanks for that NIKP ,I was hoping that there might be a UK based company that would produce the Panels,But as I will need a couple of sets,I may have to get some moulds made. Anyone Else know of anything?
Not sure about that, but Jono on here is handy with fibreglass: he may be able to make you some moulds, worth asking him.

If you do get some moulds made, you will have a big queue of people wanting ot buy stuff off you :cheers
Do it :rollin
LOL, Cheers Nic ;) just about got time to wipe my bum at the mo!!
Best person to have a chat with is gary from rotary art: //www.rotaryart.uk.com
He has carbon doors, boot, bonnets, wings etc.
Not much point in opting for the fiberglass panels as they are near as damb it the same weight as the stock FD items!!
Jono
anytime jono! :D
I have fiberglass doors on my FD (imported from Japan), the weight difference is amazing as they are 5kg each compared to the stock metal ones which are 16kg each!
Many of the carbon doors are in fact FRP with a covering of carbon cloth which will weigh more than just an FRP door.
Just make sure you have a cage with door bars as FRP is very fragile!
just how many people would be intrested in fiberglass doors / boot etc??
i would definately be interested ina boot depending on priceing.
well let me know what you want and what kinda price and ill look into it.
Not too sure mate, if you can give me a rough idea, my email is "exploding_frog1@hotmail.com"
mmm actualy i think mazdarotoryparts do carbon tailgate for £580
so it would not be worth me making a fiberglass one as it would be around £450 so might aswell go carbon id say.
be looking roughly £400 -£450 a pannel either door or boot. id guess.
I\'d like a lightweight bootlid in FRP, unless the carbon was just carbon and not an overlay onto FRP like the seibon ones. Trouble is I don\'t have the cash which is a right pain!
I\'d have to make some new mounts to remount the rear wing as a lightweight boot would crack and fracture! Unless you went bare that is.
what ever you wanted i could make 100% carbon isint realy any advantege over frp backed carbon realy thoe.
see the thing is people mistake carbon panels for sale for the real carbon.
but to get the real carbon its diffrent weav, diffrent resin, bake\'d at constant temps and preasures etc and ould never be worth while for a car part,
in fact if you made real carbon box you could run it over with a tank and it would be barley scratched,
fiberglass backed carbon puts all the properties of auto spec carbon and fiberglass to good use. and saves cash
