Original weighed 21kgs with lights (lights weigh 1kgs) and mine is under 8kgs so very good weight saving. I also backed the wheel arches in kevlar as well as soric so should be resistant to start crazing. got a coat of lacquer on the clip last night... needs flatting and a couple more coats but looks miles better already... top 2 pics are laquered, bothom ones are straight out of mould with flash lines and release agents etc. and here is a pic of what I did with the car on monday
