I'd like some front door and rear quarter panels to tidy my Nova up a bit.

I have some rear van panels (no shelf support or arm rest) and could get some material to cover them + standard front ones?

Or cut plastic out to the right size, what would be best for this? I priced some acrylic up off eBay and it came to about £25 per panel, so £150 for everything?

Suggestions?

Dustbin door cards are the lightest and also maintain door pockets for drinks etc, carbon fibre looks nicest imo, I don't think the performance trim kit is too much more than £150 for the full kit tbh... but that will most likely spur Carbon Mike's entrance stage left lol If it doesn't drop him a PM :)

Carbon kit excluding tailgate is a shade under £300, can't justify that.

I can't have any buckets/pockets due to the rollcage but just want a piece of flat material to tidy it up.

Dustbin doorcards have the pockets recessed into the doors, not sticking out :p

Didn't realise it was quite that pricy, thought it was 190 not 290! Give Mike a PM see what he'll do a kit for, sure he'll be keen to start shifting those :)

Personally it'd be carbon fibre or nothing for me on a track/performance car like yours.

I'd pop to B&Q and get some think plastic (i made my scuttle cover from it)
Cut to shape, stick it on, it's light enough you could use dub sided tape tbh. You can get clear and frosted. I'd get clear and paint the side away from you black. That way you wont chip/scratch the paint off getting in. Its simple and easy.
