Mine has carbon bonnet, bumpers and grill, fibreglass boot and spoiler
Plastic windows and that's about it for now

Gus, have you had the hole cutter out wherever possible?
A bloke i used to work with raced XR2's, there was holes cut out everywhere, even when the doors were opened, below the latch mounts all the way to the floor!
