Default Fiberglass Boot

Has anyone got or ever produced a fiberglass boot? for a classic

i did think that the downforce from the rear spoiler may be too much pressure on a fiberglass boot and casue it to crack ??

just a thought

You can get the cheap 'carbon fibre' ones that are just GRP with a CF visual skin on top, about £350 from memory.

I'm in the Midlands.
My boot is in goot nick as far as i can see.
I can be without it for a week or two i have a works car.

I'll bare this in mind if you do fancy doing it, i have a few things to sort out first to get the car on the road, maybe in a month or two.

Cheers
Chris.
