had a go at some a-panels,

As i can do prepreg carbon at home now, was thinking of making some,

i have to cost it up, but how much do you reckon these are worth?

The leading edge that goes against the door would have to be redesigned, as you have it the door would hit the leading edge when it opened. The steel ones are like that, but you bend the edge round when fitting it. Other than that, it looks pretty awesome! Considering genuine A panels are about £20/25, I'd have said they'd go for about £35?

yeah, i know that. the propper ones will have a loose tool in the mould to create a u-section to slot it over the panel, instead of having to fold it.

Maybe £50, which I'm sure is less than the cost of the prepreg!
