i think they said they weighed around 3kgs.

 

i'm lookin at replaceing the wings on my sorrento and wondered if its worth spendin a bit more on fiberglass ones, at least they wouldn't get dinted!

The standard wings weigh absolutely feck all - so an utterly pointless buy IMHO.

 

I wouldnt buy from a certain ghostly sounding company anyway...........

Far more weight could be saved by changing the rear hatch to a F/Glass one!

Any one know how much this mod could save on weight??

their prices made me laugh - for the price of their carbonfibre bonnet and boot I could get a mould and a bonnet made.

 

Dont pay more than about £80 for a fibreglass boot or bonnet

Iv got a pair from them. They are just lighter than the standard but its only woryh doing if you have run out of weight saving options which i have. As per most fiberglass moldings the fit is rubbish but as my car is being built to work no look pretty i dont mind to much. As for the company they seemed un organised wilst i was on the phone but i must admit they turned up when they said thay would.

No, being fiberglass they'll probably just shatter if they get any kind of knock.

Fibre glas will just crack, it's not that flexable, kevlar will absorb dings much better :unsure:
