If I ever wash the car I only use bucket / sponge and never jet wash just light pour with bucket around the boot lid, so I cant comment really.

Windows leak at front through the sliders and boot lid wont take much to it either

I have been caught in the rain before but only locally to where I live it didn’t leak though..

The boot lid is a single skin..

I have made an alloy strip along the hinged edge and used the standard boot lid hinges and then used 4 button head black anodised bolts to secure this..

It is very very flimsy when opened due mainly to the poly carb window… At the moment this is held in by the rubber seal.
The boot area still retains the rubber which although does not touch the skin helps to retain the water..

If im honest now thinking about it, I don’t think it was from X-sport it was - smith and deakin the guy from the company did say on order

“The mould is not in top condition”,
It was not bad but like I say it needed a lot of work at the body shop to get to how it looks now.
Im still not 100% happy but it’s a track car which I keep forgetting lol…

iTS NOT LISTED on there web page but if you ask nicely on the phone they hopefully will sort you out..

DO NOT GET THE BONNET, its seriuolsy bad, i opened mine up and then threw it in the wheely bin - it looked like the Alps.

They were first made for early mk3 racers whcih didnt worry about the finish really, just the weight.


Bonnet wise x-sport can make them from carbon but cost is around £800 unless we do a group buy.... im not getting envolved in that as false promises etc, if anyone wants to go halfs on a pair il oblige..
