i've done some research into this and Viz racing do awsome carbon boot hatches and Carbon Creations do a quality bonnet, just like Lohen. Search for those.

KJ,

I'm researching for future weight saving on the rally car....the occupants could always eat less pies I suppose! Couldnt find Viz Racing on google. Any website for them?

hey mate, take a look at http://www.visracing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=2864

thats not the biggest pic but you get the idea.

I'll keep looking around and see what i can find. They are based in California.

More info here also on the bonnet, hatch and side fenders....

Si obviously has the contacts at playmini - so he should be able to get details on the panels that John was on about

I know the CF panels will be too expensive but am attempting to guage what good GRP would come in at. Will see if Simon can get GRP info as you say.

Cheers all
