sounds good mate, it would be good if we could make the rear window smaller, like the sillohette, it would save loads of weight.what about doors too, or would that be an mot failure.

Sure we could make a whole s12 in carbon if we can get 1 to make the moulds off.
I'm thinking about bootlid,bonnet and light covers anyway.
Would you lend me your car for the gp kit to be copied?
Or does anyone have 1 not fitted yet to copy?

I know of a perspex place on the same estate as where I work but haven't chased it up yet.

The biggest weight saving would bee the boot lid I'd say,maybe we should consider these first.We could do them in grp with a perspex window no problem.
