Fibreglass body panels

Post by matteo68 »

Anyone have any experience of Club Autosport GRP body panels? https://clubautosport.co.uk/

I want to replace my steel front bumper on my S with a fibreglass one as it was originally fitted with ex-factory and this seems like a very reasonable price compared to Design 911’s:

I’m sure it will need a lot of fettling to get it to fit right but then they all do as far as I’m aware…

I've heard of others who were happy with their parts but I found that the quality of the panels that I got from them - including a front bumper - were terrrible (to the extent that I didn't use them).

However, that was several years ago so they may have improved in the meantime ...
