    Cris rose is hopefully making some fibreglass wings for the mk2.

    Making a fibre glass bonnet aint clever, as with the heat of the engine it wouldnt last very long.

    Windows? erm, B&Q i guess, then cut them yourself depending on the thickness that you require.

    thanks for reply..

    with my driving skills the bonnet wouldn't last very long anyway

    With the windows I was thinking more along the lines of the Nova thats in this months Max P (a frie.. errr.. associate bought it.... honest! ) , as I don't think my skills with perspex have lasted sinced I left school!

    There was a post on club calibra AGES ago about Chameleon automotive making carbon bonnets, maybe drop them a mail and see what they can do.

    It's hard for me to justify buying a carbon bonnet for my saxo.. which is my "pretty" car..

    The Astra is just to give me my speed fix as I've developed a bit of a thing about my Saxo , so the only real money I'm planning to spend on that is the Engine. A carbon bonnet (all prob £500 odd of it) would seem a bit of a waste

    You can get Perspex side windows with, or without slide openings from TAS for about £140. I've seem fibreglass
    bonnets with the old Manta 400 style vents for around
    the £100 mark.

    I would image Harry Hockley Motorsport or TAS would be able to advise on where to get Fibreglass bonnets and tailgates...
