For an escort cosworth - Carbon/Kevlar door skins are Ł127 each, or for the full door with all the internals etc they are Ł255 each.


Currently for the Saphs they only do Bonnet Skins, boot skins and front bumpers!

carbon doors will be good for weight saving ( though when you add the cage will be about as much difference as a lemonade top in stella )

the quality of the Xsport racing products is very good.

Greg has made me a Carbon/Kevlar bonnet in the past and it was first class.

as said above about it being cheap for proper carbon - its not show carbon, the weave isnt perfect straight to show off, all the panels will still need to be painted!

For a roof skin to be made from carbon, what would you remove from the car its going on..

Is it the whole roof skin or would you keep the outer edges there and bond the carbon to this.

Im presuming the car would need to have a full weld in rollcage.
