Carbon doors arent much more than that are they? Definately seen some fibreglass ones for around £300 a pair. Wouldn't want to have composite doors without door bars on a cage though. Could get away with it with alloy ones. |

they are not alluminium doors , its only a skin, hardly a big saving overall if you discount removing the gubbins, and as for carbon doors ,ive yet to see a door made purely from the stuff, just like Jims that appear to be your normal chopped matt glass ,backed up with what is supposed to look like some woven carbon matt, but looks more like woven glass to me with black pigment added to complete the illusion ,[sorry jim], ,

My mates Imp only had 3mm plastic windows. Thing is, how do you measure it? My old doors were just like yours Alex, no bottoms and no (internal) handles, never had a problem with them at scrutineering. Wil Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

better than carbon, I'd use them on the road yes. Still not the lightest thing around though. On 15th May, 2009 TurboDave said:

Ive put ally skins on mine as i was un impressed with the carbon (fiberglass) ones. He was a top guy to deal with, i was going to a mates in blackpool and he arranged to meet me at his unit at 8.00 pm. I only got the skins off him tho so not sure wot its like to get him to do them, but at £45 each thaught they were a bargin.
