Mini-itx Clutched August 23, 2010 Share August 23, 2010 Just asking if there are shops that does custom fiber glass doors. Just wanted to replace my doors with fiber glass to reduce weight.

No, if you are still under comprehensive insurance, you CANNOT replace your doors!!! Mine is COE car so 3rd party only. Thus can replace, it doesn't affect insurance. CF is of course nicer than FG and slightly lighter and stronger as well. FG, well, you know those cheap bodykits using FG. Cracks easily when you kana accident.

5936 1st Gear August 25, 2010 Share August 25, 2010 I would think GRP boat & body builder. If you could iron out the legal issues.. this could be possible. But... after doors.. You will go for bonnet.... But ... after bonnets.. you will go for Farrari or lotus... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replacement will be FB? or back to steel? they wont even let u claim be it your fault or the other drivers fault, let alone replace the door for u, if they find out about the changed doors. same with turbo add-on, unless u inform the insurance company, if kana accident and they realize u add in turbo, they got the right to void the agreement and not repair the car.

Even if you original have a turbo but mod it, they can void the insurance cos you increased you own risk but didnt inform them. Some people Evo & Rex run at 400bhp +, their insurance is not worth paying cos it cover nothing ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
