Fibreglass doors anyone?

Where do I put this spare bolt? Good old technical help and advice from those in the know?

Not sure I fancy these after the Paul Crawford incident at Rockingham!

Afraid we're not allowed to use them......we could end up with a 924 so light it would blow away in a strong breeze!!!

Reading the regs it doesn't say we can't use them. It specifies that we can use GRP front wings, bonnet and badge panel. No mention of GRP bumpers! Interestingly front indicators are mandatory and interior door trim must be painted in the same colour as the bodywork.

Yes the regulations have got more holes in them than a big block of swiss cheese!
