I think the usual thing is to DIY some.... A "universal type" Se7en door would be rather tricky! The door aperture will vary in shape and size between different kits- at best you'd have to spend a fair time fettling to get it to fit right.... might be quicker to DIY from the start...

IE make a frame, cut out the plexiglass, work out the hinging and securing arrangment- put it all together and make it look right pretty

With luck the car, or one like it, will be at Stoneleigh.

Never seen fibreglass doors on a 7, sounds like something donkervoort would make for their cars.

(a good guess the D8 GT comes with them )
