I should point out that all those pics are of the prototype doors. Yours are much glossier on the outside, and have a very bright yellow Kevlar interior. I have figured out either the spray adhesive or the PVA mould release is causing the porous surface most of my parts seem to have. The doors I made for you are using straight mould release wax, hence the nice glossy finish. The downside is there is the potential for 'bridging'.
They came in at approximately 4.2 - 4.3kg once assembled.
This morning I started working on a door handle for the passenger door. I think I have come up with a design that works. It only weighs 35grams too!
Last night I had a go at repairing the broken bonnet. Whilst it looks a little gnarly, it is very strong, being reinforced with several layers of Kevlar and carbon fibre.
