Frayz why not buy some flat carbon sheet and make your own up,cut into the sheet for door handle latches etc ??? and drill holes for the oem button clips that hold them in place against the oem door panel dont forget if your fitting cage X bars the oem panels will clash with the bars so you will need to get rid of the door cards anyway

Yeah I know they have gotta go dude.
Unsure if they will take a flat panel, I need to have a proper look.
Flat panel carbon in that sorts of size will be pretty expensive as it is.
Another idea is a thin panel of ABS and trim it in alcantara.
Cost effective, clean and lightweight.

Love what your doing with it Frayz, keep the spare wheel well i reckon. Like you said its still going to be a road car, whats the good if you cant carry a spare when needed. Keep up the good work mate,

Yeah it's taking another direction but more of an evolution of the car. I've still got so many ideas for it. It's almost ready for cage work now.
Really looking forward to making the car more focused and achieving some ideas that I've wanted to do for so long.

Happy new year everyone.
Gonna probably be a bit quiet in here for a few weeks. The car will be making a special trip at the start of Feb to have her cage made. Till then, there's not much I can do but try and save as much cash as possible to find her upgrades. lol.
If anyone is interested in any interior trim or fixings, I have the whole inside of a bugeye STI. Many parts sold. Please ask for details.

Looking good, are you cutting the spare wheel well out? a bit of weight saving to be had there I reckon + not carrying a spare wheel/jack. There's not many new cars that come with a spare wheel nowadays.

Only way to do it properly would be to move the B pillar back and extend the front doors. However they never did a 3 door newage and I don't think the proportions look right on any I've seen.
The only one I think would lend itself well to a 3 door body would be a hatch.
