Have fitted my (fake!) carbon fibre door trims and they look pretty fine if I do say so myself! They also weigh less than a kilo each....which is more than I can say for the wing mirrors which are well over a kilo each! :evil: Having examined them carefully and how they fit I'm binning them in favour of teeny weeny motorbike mirrors that weigh the same as a crisp packet and should improve the aerodynamics too :D
Anyone need a couple of wing mirrors???

Sheets of carbon look stuff off ebay. 2 for £50 delivered. Can be cut with scissors which was nice! :D I can get pictures but I dont have a way of posting them on this site as I have no hosting space to transfer them some, but I can email em to you if you want.

Weight saving....makes your car go faster for not much money. The sheets look flat and tidy....no bling, only an old Toyota Carina grab handle (scavanged from the local scrappy) to shut the door with!

Thats the favourite comment of every 'how to build a race car' book Ive ever read on the topic of weight saving :lol: At the minute I'm about the middle of my weight range....Ive been 2/3 of a stone lighter and 2/3 of a stone heavier in the last 3 years!!!

That sounds good peter, A mate of mine suggested to his g/f that she should loose some weight and he evn told her that the quickest way to loose a stone was to chop her head off. She was pretty ugly too and history before he could get the next round in. :twisted: :twisted:
