for a start, he did ask for fibreglass Razz

and secondly, they are illegal for any car which must meet crash standards AS A MODIFICATION

very few cars have fibreglass or FRP panels from factory

in fact the only one i can think of quickly is the M3/M5 i saw at the motor show..and maybe the EVO's? some cars have alloy, but not many have FRP...

meh, use em for the track, but not for the road.. the 4 or 5 kg you save (maybe) is 3/5ths of fuckall anyway Razz


the gze aw11 mr2 has a fiberglass engine lid from the factory and is alot lighter than the steel one about 1/3rd of the weight.

edit: also the lotus europa in the 60s-70s had its complete body shell made out of fiberglass
