Dear all, you my remember we have been working on some carbon door cards for the Cup Racer, well here they are ........

The idea is these will be supplied as a "plug and play" replacement with all holes cut and drilled, together with handles and mounting hardware. As you will see they have a nice radiused top edge, so are a nice fit on the door cap, not just a simple flat panel with rough edges. I should add that these are a generic panel cut down and fitted to MK1 Clio dimensions, they are not fully bespoke moulded items, but the fit and finish is excellent.

Pricing, to some extent, will depend upon demand, but if there is sufficient interest then I would hope that they will come in at about £250 a pair.

For now please indicate any interest here on this thread, and once I have an idea of demand I will confirm price and ordering / payment mechanism.

thanks,

Jamie

I'd be interested too.

I just need a final price and an ETA and an option possibly for electric window buttons...

Delivery time should be pretty swift, hopefully no more than a week. Price is going down as the number of people who express interest goes up !
I wasn't quite sure what to do about electric window switches - the Cup Racer has cranks, and I don't know the correct location for electric switches. It might just be easiest to cut your own holes - the carbon is quite easy to work. Alternatively if you specify the size and location of the holes I'm sure it can be accommodated .......

Any news yet? Also what are the chances of a combo deal with the headlight blanks? 8-[

Hi all,
Sorry to have gone a bit quiet on this - various other stuff going on ! Anyway, I have got a final price agreed on the door cards at £250 plus delivery. It would be better to collect in person from Wokingham in Berks, but they can be shipped if needed.
No problem to leave out window winder holes, but the guy who makes them is reluctant to put leccy window switch holes in without a suitable template - that would be something best discussed direct.
Those who are keen, please place your orders direct with Mick Cross at Autocross on 0118 979 7999, and he will take payment, arrange delivery etc - mention the Clio doorcard group buy, and my name, and he will sort you out !

Cheers Jamie.

Will have spare cash soon for the Williams. It's going on a diet and these will be nice.

I think I will be getting perspex windows anyway, so won't need holes :)

Autocross will supply you with all your lightweight panel needs ! We have one of their fibreglass bonnets (£200) which genuinely looks better than a factory steel item. The fit is perfect and the gelcoat finish would have been good enough to use without painting. They can be done in carbon too if the fancy takes you. Mick has also made us a beautiful front airdam and splitter together with a rear diffuser and our new headlight blanks. He has moulds for all of those parts, but can supply anything you could possibly want within reason.

Give him a call ........

Hmmm, that's a shame. The one on my car is a BMW M3 diffuser that Mick makes, and he just chopped it around to fit. It certainly took quite a bit of work to do, but he had always told me he'd do more .....
