Where can i get some GRP half doors for an MK Indy?

Does any one know where I can get some GRP doors to fit the MK Indy? I know softbits do the material ones but I really want some Black GRP one with an elbow buldge.

Either that or can someone show me a pic of their homemade ones?

Thanks in advance!

I'm using GBS Zero weather gear and doors on my Indy. Though the Indy cockpit length is longerthan the Zero the weather gear fits fine when the windscreen is mounted a bit further back on the scuttle (nearer the dash). The scuttle step, the usual windscreen base position, then becomes the perfect place to mount the windscreen wipers.

Have a chat with Julian at Aerodynamix - I'm sure he could help you out.

Funny you should say that, I have the Zero doors and roof, too on my Luego....but the doors are the type smitht82 said he didn't really want - unless you have a different type to mine?

From a comment in his archive, bit of lateral thinking

"Hi,I used 1mm sheet metal ,which bends quite well and for the hump I bent the sheet over a 6in silencer and tack welded it"
