I wonder how much more the stainless version weighs compared to its' fibreglass counterpart. Hmmm, I wonder who we know could take up such a challenge, contructing one? Any ideas?

I hope its a better fit :lol:

I bet people could make money if they offer fibre glass T-panels/bonnet/wings for the D.... I would have a set to swap like a mobile phone case, and have it in black!

I cant read that thread, but I was thinking it was all SS it would be bloody heavy, you wouldnt need gym, just open and close your louvre 3 times a day and you'd put Arny to shame in no time

Fools :lol:
Right must be time for a packet of crisps now.
Anyway a stainless rear louvre is a good idea becuase they wobble about a fair bit as standard when you open them, but as you say the weight would be crazy. Aluminium would be ok, and powder coated black.
Stainless louvre - Darren C - 18 Jan 2008
Looks like its just thin stainless sheet covering the horizontals of an original louvre. In that way it wouldn't be too heavy.
I know of two companies that'll make you one, but boy would it be expensive.
Carbon fibre would be cool though, strong and real eye candy.

it would be a bit dodgy in an accident at 50mph think of the decapitations you would give out for free :lol: TT
- Dodgy Motor - 18 Jan 2008
Nice one tony... :lol: Not to mention your own decapitation when a dirty great lorry goes up the back side of your D and pushes the lourve through the rear window,youll never have to lift your arm again to pick your nose,you can just hold it in your lap :lol:
