CM composites iirc custom make carbon interior door panels

Not really worth the expense I can make something fairly light out of thin plastic or fibreglass cheers though

Wait wait wait, let me just rewind this thread, when the heck did you stick the new logo badges on? I don't remember reading about that?

It was before gti fest I guess I forgot to post it

Then it'll need a cage which will negate the weight loss lol

Finished the o/s rear this morning keeping the wire going into roof as it's the aerial and I need some entertainment still lol

Nearly there, bonded and bolted rear windows in so there not going anywhere, going to get some thin ally door cards made up as they look abit pants bare, then just got to try and remove the rest of the silicone still on the doors, going to cut the carpet right back so only carpet in the front, and tidy the rest of loom that runs along the front or the rear seats,

You should be able to make out the two 13mm bolts, they sit about 1/2cm under the window then siliconed around it and in all the channels, it ain't going nowhere

Should be getting to a weightbridge in next couple of weeks to see what the magic number is, there's still lots I can remove if I want to go even more hardcore

Excellent progress - you never hang about!

I try just fitted a new battery and fuel pump too tonight, old battery had died one too many times from sitting over winter it wasn't a sealed one either and eurocarparts were still doing there xmas offers so had a good bargain

Got one of my mates at work to make me some Aliminium door covers out of some old cuttings to fill in the gaping holes in the now empty back doors in 1.7mm thickness so really light should look good too, I think I'm going to wrap them in 3m Carbon for effect lol

And a tube of sealant of course haha

Got annoyed with removing the old sealant off doors, so out came the wire brush on a drill, I had a pot of fantasy green paint so just went over where I've gone through to metal and gave it a couple of coats, don't look too bad

Should get a good lot done on Saturday as there's still a few bits and pieces to do, then I can get it mot'd
