To settle the rear we have forest suspension on the back. Improves the handling by a lot.

Joking aside, Redline Motorsport do a Carbon Fibre gearknob for £300ish...

Polycarbonate windows are a no no for road cars. The windows are dead easy to take out so your cars security is well...p'sh. Plus you dont really need them for a road car.

Oh and the rear fibreglass boot will use a polycarbonate window if you choose that option.

Ok, but for those few extra grams, I strongly recommend you stick with standard windows. You'll only kick yourself when something happens as you really cant leave your car anywhere unattended. Especially with sliders.
