Hey All,

Just a quick question.

Wondering if anyone knows what the rule is with fiberglass fenders?? is it illegal to have fiberglass front fenders on the street? will it void insurance ect ect?

Thanks in advance

Nissan xtrail, bmw X5 both have plastic guards from the factory.

Beach buggies and corvettes have been f/glass since the 70's

I'm yet to see any carbon bonnet that has the quality or fit anywhere near as good as an original bonnet. Some are bordering on dangerous!

I sourced a genuine cf (not glass with a stickering on top) one out of japan for a mates 32... ridiculously good... with a bill to match.
