thanks guys, when i built a robin hood i made it out of mdf and covered it and it looked good but this car is something quite different to a robin hood and i wondered if there were any other alternatives that may be a bit lighter.

I like the idea of being able to staple the the vinyl to the mdf at the back rather than just relying on glue which i would have to do if i made it from ali, although ali would be a bit lighter, carbon lighter still. I'll just have to go on a diet to compensate

I used white fascia board left over from my extension build for my stylus, it's VERY light, completely stiff, easy to cut. I'll then cover it with foam and alcantera, and staple the back....
