Polycarbonate Cycle Wings, Etc... ???
Quite fancy doing something 'minimalist' with the Quantum... the thought of clear polycarbonate (or similar) cycle wings and bonnet panel
sound quite attractive (to me!).
Anyone done this, or can anyone point me in the direction of any companies who can make shaped pieces?
Ta muchly!

mold. made a sledge turned out great

I would imagine the polycarb bonnet would turn into a sticky mess over the engine fairly quickly?

You'd see all the crap stuck to the underside of the mudguards as well.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

i might try it on a bonnet. i've got 2 bonnets. one is very heavy, so i might cut a bit out the middle and put a polycarb window in

Make one out of grp. If you pick your resin well, and minimise the voids, then it will be fairly clear at the end - not as clear as polycarbonate, but
it would last a lot longer!

I have a pretty big vac former that could do front wings depending on size if that is any use.
