Could you do a bootlid? Fibreglass or carbon as I know the CF will cost me a fortune!

I've always thought the boot to be fairly heavy. Looks to be a fair weight saving in it TBH.
Bic, how many people would you need to make it worthwile? Obviously thats a long way off as you are just starting out etc.Possibly one for the future as I'm sure there would be plenty of interest to make it worthwhile

Mini-valver - indeed, the boot we will be able to halve the weight and if you are using the car for trackdays and then replace screen with poly/lexan abd lose lock, wiper motor etc and also use one of our spoilers it will be save a lot. the 106 doors we are working on at the minute fully trimmed weighed over 30kg, we aim to have them below 10kg when finished at the end of March anything is possible
5 orders with 50% deposit to get tailgate mould into production and based around retail price of £599 for wet lay tailgate, potentialy the clio tailgate can be done in 2 sections and will fit in our smaller autoclave and therefore be stronger, lighter and better quality item
I need to take some measurements, is this for the 172/82 ?

to be honest i find watching paint dry more fun than laying up composites! lol
i respect people that do it massively as i know quality composites when i see them (and in the "tuning market" 95% of it is shite made in china)
there's "pretty" composites (aka shite) and then there's the proper stuff! i payed a stupid amount for this box not too long ago, but its proper prepreg claved carbon, but then a few of my mates make F1 cars for a living

yes, and its all mine
but when was the last time it moved? :boring:
tailgate sounds good to me
£500 would have me swayed

wow.. that looks great
Definitely have fog surrounds and rear bumper strip when they are available. Possibly door cards too.
Can you remove the thumb grips from the steering wheel? Can't say i've tried. Would be up for these too.
When you say mirror covers do you mean the black plastic bit or the actual wing mirror itself? I assume the black plastic bit....

Matty J - You asked about Renault 5 products, we have this slight quality 2nd R5 bonnet available at the minute, require final trim and flat/polish, but is good value at £299 (we will complete the final touches to it before sold obviously) I have also PM'd you. Weight of bonnet ids 5.2kg, fibreglass inner framework using OE fixings etc.
thanks

Wet Lay/Gel Coat/Fibreglass uses a lot of resin/gel coat and a heavy fibreglass mix and cures without any heat, generally heavier, weaker and cheaper than pre preg carbon.
Pre preg (pre pregnated carbon fibre with resin and oven/auto clave cured), the very same method as used in all Motorsport variations due to strength and weight advantages, as oppose to shiney looks etc, although polished up pre preg looks just as good if not better than wet lay. Usually more expensive than wet lay for obvious reasons, especially given the machinery involved to complete the curing cycle etc.
That explain things a bit better ?
