Hi Laurent,

Apart from the factory supplied wet weather gear (the full vinyl roof and doors), I'm not aware I've ever seen off the shelf doors etc for any of the Robin Hood cars or even drawings for the parts that someone have made themselves.

I have made quite a few Surrey tops and doors for both Robin Hoods and also GBS Zero and from my experience, no two cars are exactly the same size and in fact many are slightly different between left hand side and right hand side of the car. This means that even if you make a template for say a 2B, on a different 2B you will need to adjust the sizes slightly.

In this thread you can see the latest set I made for the very rare Robin Hood 'The Hood' car. The principles are similar for most tops and doors and although this is really a Surrey top (it doesn't completely cover the car), it does actually keep most of the water out when you're driving and it has the advantage that the top packs down small and can be stored on the car easily.

 

This build included fixed wind deflectors but it's possible to make these removable and fit them to the same place as door hinges.You can see some ideas here:

The Perspex material they suggest using isn't ideal because it's acrylic and brittle, it is better to use polycarbonate which has names like Makrolon, Marlon etc.

Some off the shelf weather gear is available from this place, they can probably tell you if it would fit an Exmo. I don't know the exact size differences between all the different cars so you need to check carefully if you do buy anything that it will in fact fit.
