which side panels?
What side panels should i go for ally ones or ready made fiberglass ones? i can spray paint and have access to a decent painting booth. but i have
found these on ebay and they wouldnt cost alot more than buying the bits of ally and shaping them and then painting them.
eBay Item
i think the fiberglass ones look really good but i also like the ally ones and i really cant decide

These days the cost of ally makes it almost the same as the grp ones in the colour you want.
I started with ally on my old locost n kept damaging it building so I bought grp.

I suppose it depends whether the panels are to be part of the car or just show. A riveted-on alloy panel will add rigidity to the chassis.

Personally I dont like the look of ali panels. I vinyl wrapped mine black and they look soooOOoo much better.
The point designer makes is a good one and one that make me go ali again and then re vinyl. Then you can choose and change the colour,
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

I loved the ali look on my locost build
But, boy did it take looking after, especially if you want to use it all year round
