Where's the cheapest/best (ratio) place to get fibreglass wings, bonnet, bumpers and boot?
Probably too expensive to consider, but you never know... It may be worth it.
Anyone done this?

Might be better off looking into having carbon fibre copies made.. GRP has very little strength, it warps and generally looks rubbish.

no point in fibreglass wings, the steel ones are light to start with anyway.
carbon wings otherwise. and everything else but its mega £££
a.g motorsports for bonnet/boot.
euro rallye do full doors. i was going to get some but cant really put locks in i dont think, so gave it a miss

there mate, good and cheap! 
i seen a fibreglass bonnet yesterday...shit! as were the wings.
doors bend, and a tailgate seems to be the only thing that isn't crap, IMO, still wouldn't waste my cash on fibreglass, unless it's PURE track car, it'll never look to great.

Needed to replace the wings at the time anyway, so made sense at the time but we've just gone for standard wings now.
I'd like a bonnet/boot but they're like £100+ each so probably gunna have a give it a miss.

Fibreglass is so weak, that's why they build aeroplanes out of it.
