Excuse me, but what's the point of these? You need to fit all sorts of bracketry to make them fit, so there's no weight saving. On top of this it will look like you've bought some checquered vinyl at Halfords...

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

They're intended to be bonded on instead of the steel ones, the a-panels aren't structural, so structural problems aren't really an issue. As for weight, they weigh around 90-100g a piece. i'd have to add some serious bracketry for them not to be a weight saving, which is what they're intended for. Mine will be painted chavs indeed...

lol.. Waay good looking! So you can buy a carbon flipfront, carbon a-pannels, carbon doors, carbon arches and bumpers. a carbon roof with a carbon bootlid and floor. It seems soo wastefull when people have to then paint it, blatently ahve to go round telling everyone which bits are carbon if its your car.. It would look fucking shit if you didnt paint them Paul I seriously doubt it! |
