BMW E36 Compact Lightweight Fibreglass Doors – Set of 2

These lightweight fibreglass doors have been specially developed for the BMW E36 Compact and are made for intensive use in racing, rallying, drifting and track days. The original steel doors of a Compact are long and heavy, and they sit high up and far out in the car. With this set you remove weight exactly where it does the most for your handling.

The doors are manufactured from high-quality, certified glass-fibre cloth with a directional fibre structure. This makes them considerably lighter than steel doors and stronger than standard laminate, with enough structural strength for competition use. The outer layer is finished in light grey gelcoat, ready for sanding and painting.

These are motorsport parts, not original factory parts. They are not intended as a replacement on a car used every day on public roads.
