I would too for that money, but sadly the original ones had to cost €2200 - €2600, and that was only covering labour and raw materials (carbon)...
There's maybe an alternative hatchback option from Germany, but more racer oriented:

Yeh the .org one won't be carbon :P

Looks pretty similar to me, only the cover painted red and the hinge looks black there. And a gasstrut fitted...

OK! I had the feeling that the roof bar cover is modified (on first page)but it's clear for me now.

Thank you

I'd be 100% interested if this could be sourced. That must be close to 10 confirmed....?

Wishful thinking (that matt black VX :wub: )

EDIT: just found this; http://www.sixthsens...06-projectx.htm - mentions a similar cover, do Plans still have moulds?

Have kept my car standard so far but this looks really good, have never been fully convinced with side profile.
Buttresses seen unresolved to me.

Please add me to the list as a firm purchaser. The only caveat is price but the figures discussed are fine!

I would expect the thick end of £1,000 for the two pieces in Fibreglass and not Carbon. Not cheap but I do not own the moulds.
