i was thinking of getting a mate who works for a company who produce indy car bodies, amongst other things, to make me a set of door panels out of carbon fibre (or kevlar).
they do it properly there in an autoclave, not carbonfibre/fibreglass composite, but autoclaves are crazy expensive so no wonder theres a lot of fibreglass the door panels wouldnt just be flat sheets of carbon mind, they would have rolled edges so they imitate the radius of the original panels, i was even thinking about have the pattern thats pressed into the vinyl ones formed into them, that way i would be hoping they could be fitted like the regular ones. tell me what you lot think cos its not gonna happen unless a lot of people want them.

I would be interested in a set of CF door panels, depending on the price.
Would they just be the sheets with NOTHING cut out (door handles/opener bits/window winders)? Would be better as it allows people the flexibility to do what they want with them... I have electric windows so dont really need the window winder holes... Cheers, Sam C

Good stuff, keep us posted.
It wouldnt be a big deal to cut the holes for handles etc yourself as carbon fibre is very easy to work using a dremmel or some other brand of high speed rotary tool.... Just remember the dust mask and goggles (the dust is very bad for your lungs, and apparently is horrible if it gets in your eyes). Sam C
