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

Will be getting carbon roof doors and wings
Maybe dash and then change some brackets for carbon ones

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!
