Best thing to use is nothing. Take them off and bodge the handle etc back on. Other wise, carbon.

They easy to bodge on? Was looking at that carbon one in the group buy section but sure there was some problems with orders,

A lot of people buy cup racer door mould things, and other people just have the bit of cable you pull to open up the door. I'm not 100% tbh, can't see it being that hard.

Foam? Seriously? I can see that lasting all of two minutes. I'd rather just have nothing or do it properly and get the carbon ones - but again that's my personal preference.

Might be a bit pikey, but why not just put cup racer handles on and black vinyl/carbon vinyl the inners?
Oh and if you no longer need the ph1 rear bench give us a shout
Pm me got most of interior

So buy the cup racer handles and just fit them however is possible either that or buy carbon ones and use existing basically
Yes srs, it was suggested to me by someone who has used it in a racer. I'd much rather have that than just metal carbon is obviously best.

Suppose - might be worth a punt in that case then for the sake of a few quid

Acrylic would break if you shut the door too hard and if you were in a side impact would shatter and possibly create sharp flying objects which would not be good.

Wheres the best place to get that plastic from mate
Don't really buy the doing it for crash protection (random handling protection, yes) argument - carbon fibre would likely be just as bad as ABS. Infact the ridiculed foam idea would be the best for crash protection since it's naturally ductile so far from shattering it'd stay attached to the sharp edges it's "protecting" you from.
Not recommending one or the other, just arguing
I've got that foam and it is not what you would expect from "foam". It is more like plastic sheeting.
A scrutineer told me to get door cards to cover all the sharp edges in case you get a limb caught in there in an incident.

I was planning on using this, seemed perfect but i ended up not removing the door cards!

Carbon fibre is strong, light and robust. Abs is flexible, light and robust which makes both good for this purpose. MDPE is another plastic that would be good but it is slightly heavier.
I said acrylic would not be good. :S
