Default Ali and fibreglass sidepanels

Hi all,

I have been busy with my car over the last couple of months, steering now sorted and supercharger is mounted. I have made the plenum chamber and attached to the throttle bodies.

I have also started the aluminium work for the floor, bulkhead and seat back.

But I have a question if someone can help? On a westfield I noticed they have fibreglass side panels and aluminium up to the bulkhead.

Is this required just for aesthetics or rigidity? I have enough material but done want to have issues fitting my fibreglass side panels at a later date when I get them if I put aluminium side panels on as they do on the westfield.

Any ideas, what have other people done? I know people have debated putting the aluminium on the inside to hide the chassis rails.........
