While driving at around 100mph (on an airfield, private road, simulated in a wind tunnel honest officer) my door starts to vibrate rather alarmingly!

So I brought the speed down and when i got home had a good look at the aluminium triangles on the door that act as a window guide. Having thoroughly examined my side i looked at the passanger side and found that both are bent/curved/kinked but in different places on the verticle/upright part.

Should there be any curve or kink or should they be dead straight? If they should be straight would this be the cause of the problem? Again, if they should be straight how or where can i get them sorted?

I want some sensation of speed or I wouldn't have bought one of the finest sports cars in the world (IMHO) but this does not seem right.

If it has wheels or lumps in its jumper it will bring you trouble in the end!

Sounds to me like it may be a wheel balance problem? This can manifest itself in weird vibrations from about any part of the car.
