Oh... So what about the approvals for the finished product, the buggy. Beamish sell finished buggies which have all the approvals, so the fibre-glass kits are also "legal". How does this affect this kit?

Furman glass still manufactures them and you can buy it from Volkspares for about R2k or so..

it's got potential...........that will probably be the high specc'd one though. I'm sure that a baseline one won't look that good.

Good luck on the S windscreen..............not a good choice if you ask me.
