Well that car you linked says carbon fibre which i don't know about, but i think there is a place in england that does all that, even a whole shell.

As for fibreglass, i'm pretty sure Fred Sayers has that covered if you want to buy off someone local. I'm sure there are a few people around that could tell you some more about what Fred does and how to get a hold of him. I just know of him and know he is into fibreglassing among other things.

Www.the-arc-angels.co.uk. but their website didnt seem to be working on my tablet. Those carbon flairs look like they are from there.

I got my boot from minispares in the UK. Arrived with no damage and fits reasonably well too.

There is a place in japan that I have a catalogue from that does full carbon fibre bonnets etc, I could look up the details too if you are interested.

Likely to me mk3+ shape only

Sorry to bring this up if it's already been answered but what's the current ruling on these for road registered and club registered vehicles?

I did do a quick search first :?

Vicroads doesnt allow anything to be fiberglass that isn't removable. So front wings are not allowed. Bonnet and boot are. Not certain on doors

What about a FG removable flip front... :?:
Also the local guy in the Brisbane area that has the Silver Vtec 850. I think they're mad Matt's mates.
