Group: Forum Members Posts: 157, Visits: 1.2K	I decided to make some carbon doors for my Noble... unlike the rear clip that was a self made buck to my own design, this time I stripped the original and took moulds of the inner and outer so its effectivelly a replica of the stock part but in carbon.... Also turns out it will be significantly superior as when releasing the moulds from the buck I discovered the standard door edges are made from P40 and filler so the original moulds must have been terrible. For this part I wanted it strong with some crash protection (unlike original) so on the outer skin I used: 200g carbon 650g carbon 3mm soric 210g Carbon/kevlar 210g Carbon Kevlar Inside skin hasnt been pulled yet but will not be as heavy as the outer skin so I plan: 200g carbon 200g carbon 2mm soric 210g Carbon/Kevlar 210g Carbon/Kevlar
