Fiberglass parts arrived
Received the fiberglass parts today, I ordered the bumpers and hoods to front and rear. These are lightweight race parts and seem to be very light. Just measured the rear bumber quickly to see how much, difference is 10kg just from the rear bumber. I’ll get measures from all the parts next time.
Here are some photos of the parts, as you can see there is light showing through since they are that light. Intresting to see how they fit and what needs to be fabricated to have them attached to the car. Again something new I haven’t done before. Parts where bought from Porttikivi Racing from Finland.





Nowadays enjoying cruising the Alps with the roadster and visiting the Ring as often as possible. Live's in Munich, where beeing a carfreak is not as difficult as in Finland.

Little update from the garage. Weighted the parts today.
Part / Stock / Fiberglass part / Gain
Hood / 18kg / 5kg / -13kg
Rear bumber / 12kg / 2kg / -10kg
Front bumber / 12kg / 3kg / -9kg
Trunk lid / 11kg / 1kg / -10kg
So to compensate with some fittings etc, I should get about 40kg off the car with these. Not bad!
