Red SLR Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 No not arms and legs... car parts. I want to know how I would go about getting a GRP version of a steel part made. I want a GRP bonnet - so it would be a one off... does anyone know anyone that could make it? It would be single skin - so attached with race pins. I can supply OE part to work too.

Bricol Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 When I wanted something similar, I had a look in the yellow pages - plenty of GRP workers in there - got one who sounded interested in Brighouse localish to me. However, I went with ebay for the materials, a large roll of catering clingfilm, a supply of gloves and brushes and did it myself in the end - worked out pretty well too 😬 Bri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red SLR Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 Sadly 1996 rather than 1976. I think a company called DOME motorsport made a load for their RWD conversions. But I cant find anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
