Just managed to find this website. Can supply fibreglass matt, cloth, resins, hardener etc.etc. Basically everything you'll need to use fibreglass in building the ultimate Corsa install(If you reckon you can do better than me!!!)

Also available is Carbonfibre/kevlar cloths and resins etc. That would be impressive. A whole, seats out job, build done in carbon kevalr/fibre How Cool!

Did you see the prices though? £26 for 10 square yards! 1 Litre of resin for around £5! Cheap as fook from that place i found.

I could go for carbon-fibre, but materials would cost around £500, instead of £50!

Good prices, its just finding the time for the graft! As you guys know i have spent BOMBS on my system, only you open the boot and wahla MDF city! Its minging, ruins everything. Surely some company would love to use my car as a demo car with my kit inside but the graft on the install...?
