Yes. I suspect you may be my long lost brother.

If you ever get around to doing it, let me know? I'd like to put in a lexan rear hatch on my S2.

If you aren't restricted by your sanctioning body's tech spec requirements, etc. you can do what I did and make one from a 5 Star piece, conduit, and aluminum plate. Crude but effective. The weight savings was 33 pounds. It is not remotely weather tight but I suspect that may not be a concern in Dubai.

I used a "never used but rejected" rear Lexan NASCAR hatch that I was able to buy for like $25 but only because I live in NASCAR country. It was a 5 Star product and I assume they will sell them directly.

There is a brief writeup on my website. Search on "Weight Loss Plan" and look down near the bottom of the article. Also the hammer formed aluminum hood part of the article may catch your interest.
