Default Track cars running stripped interiors

Well as some may know and others will shortly, I have cravings for carbon somewhat of late.

I had some carbon door cards made for my car and these were fitted without using the original handles on the inside of the car as to reduce weight further. One issue was I had difficulty closing the door from the inside.
Try pulling from the poly window slider and the window felt like it would pull out. So a handle or pull was needed to be made.. Well the resolution has arrived.

100% Leather handles which yep you guessed it are stamped with a Carbon Fibre pattern

Its a track car albeit road legal yes!
I dont use this as a daily driver its a toy that is trailored to tracks or used on the road very brefily to make sure everything is A ok.

Its a simple strap to enable me to close the door without having to fit / modify the original handle around the roll cage door bars.
As for weight grams make Kg mate, so everything how ever small it maybe makes a big difference once all saved.
