only one way to really tell if its any good, fit it to the car and see what it fits like, if it fits well then it should be good quality, if its not a good fit then bad, as if someone has gone to the effort to make it fit correctly it is safe to assume that it has been cared about whilst being made

Doesn't mean it's done cheaply. It's probably done as Ash said, CRP over GRP which is an approved technique.

GRP = fibreglass, so yeah. Not as light as CF, but lighter than steel.
