I have seen a number of 'door covers', as in this video:

Anyone know where to buy them?

cheers

Caterham supply these as a race car option. Old R400's used an Alloy tonneau which extended down into gap where passenger side door/ half door was,& a alloy boot cover.Think this CSR (in video) has similar set up plus the Drivers door.

Be careful if your considering using one of the covers for racing. They seem to be legal for Caterham race series only, otherwise they fail scrutineering (the wording in the blue book is something like "soft deformable structure"

The alloy tonneau covers you are on about are race fit only.

You need to drill 4 holes in the dash and seat panel for them to fit as well.

They have a support bar which runs between the dash and panel behind the seats, and also 2 dzeus clips that pop rivet onto the dash and rear panel!

Also for the race series you have to have the correct roll cage padding fitted to the side of the tonneau
