Bit of an underwhelming response innit?

Can you do custom bodywork? Which material do you work in - glass fibre? What are the stock bumpers made of - I'm a bit concerned that replacements wouldnt be as tough. After clobbering the garage, the car came off unscathed (the garage didnt!), but I fear that glass fibre bumpers would be ruined in just such a situation.

cheers

The std ones are more flexible , fibreglass is well up to the job , both would crack the paint though , yes youve guessed it i work with fibreglass a lot , but its not like making boats .

i managed to break two windows tonight by reversing into them - and it hardly left a mark, even though i hit the metal frame, so i guess ill be sticking with the stock ones on my everyday car!

i promise all 300 enthusiasts that as soon as I have the garage space i will get another 360 and go crazy!

cheers

Looking for fibreglass, or lightweight, bonnet - boot lid - rear spoiler - front spoiler - bumpers for my 242 rally car.

Got any ideas or contacts?

Thanks

You're ****ing in the wind a bit with that one mate.

You might have to make your own.
