Got my panels this morning and had them out to have a look. Got a bonnet skin, boot skin and door skins. Quality is pretty good really, front of the bonnet has a small air pocket or something which has caused the skin to chip but shouldn't be hard to fix, and may have been caused by them kicking round citylinks depot for 5 days whilst they 'looked' for them.

These are just skins though as they are for a race car. The doors will need fixing to the original framework, and the boot and bonnet will need pins to hold them in place...

Forgot about weight- Bonnet skin is 5.4kg, compared to 9.3kg for a ph 3 bonnet that has had all framework removed, and is also just a skin, albeit a steel one, and its painted, which the fiberglass one isn't.

Door skins are 2.4kg each, boot skin is 2kg. Will be able to compare boot skin weight to my steel one which is just a skin soon.

I'm guessing the Novice sign is an optional extra you specified?

    Yeah, novice fiberglass panel user! Its just a bit of bracing to stop the bonnet flexing...

    Still haven't got around to fixing them yet, other things are taking priority, like just getting the car running for starters! Need some more doors to chop up as the first one was a bit of a learning curve so isn't the neatest....
