[grantsmith1985]

I think on here you will get interest in almost any part he can make, ie bonnets boots whings bumpers etc. EVERYTHING, lol.

[dandaman2005]

If he can knock out a carbon bonnet for around £100-150 then he will get more custom than jordans tits!!!!

[DevilDamo]

a mate of mine has some carbon fibre under the bonnet. does look quite good. may be interested in something similar depending on quality of workmanship and prices.

[Saint]

carbon engine covers would be good one easy enough to make too.

id be intersted in carbon door cards meself

[bronk]

wat about carbon fibre engine bits?

[mattvts23]

I think the main items people want are:

Bonnet mk1& mk2
Roof skin
Boot

If he can supply these items and the quality of carbon is good. Then he should have no problem selling. As hundreds of people are crying out for carbon goodies every since Procomp stopped. Especially mk2 bonnets.

Is you doing it in a autoclave and properly?

It would be paper thin smileys/smiley17.gif

[ronnie]

i think it will be a bit more than £150 for a bonnet! he did say something about an oven?

[Sidesport]

Its not just a oven its a autoclave

Basically it cooked the carbon and also its presurised. Think its done at about 75 psi.

[boz]

i would defo be interested in a bonnet, and a boot would be cool too if he could do one? smileys/smiley2.gif

[grantsmith1985]

Get more info and some pics if posible

[Grant.]

def intrested in the carbon bonnet dude

[ronnie]

going to see him in the morning to get prices etc ,any one want me to ask him anything ??
gonna ask about bonnet1&2, boot , doorcards,roof etc

[grantsmith1985]

I think they are the main parts that every one will be after

[Saint]

id start with engine cover bits most ppl can afford them an will want em en masse... or interior bits are an uncovered market. ive seen carbon door cards but nothing else really

there a thought?

id say pics of final products before ppl would be intersted. or do you have pics of other carbon stuff he done? even if it not car related still show quality of the weave an stuff

[saxoash]

yeah we would need pics b4 we buy anything

[w_jd_w]

[ronnie]

ok been to see the bloke ! had a good chat about this stuff, hes willing to just start off with a mk1 saxo bonnet and see how the sales go, then move on to the other bits ! now as these are mainly just for styling purposes they will have a fibreglass frame underneath to keep costs to a minimum but they will have all the latches / hinges etc included ! he has a realistic price too, if there to much no one will buy um ,to cheap no profit!
£350-£400 depending on how many orders etc...
so get typing or pm me! please please only serious inquires and i'll pass the list on to him for ya!!
also pm me if you want other stuff too...
i forgot my camera but i will get some pics asap...

[JayWard]

thats what i mean oz.it will be crap!!everybody having carbon fibre!

[SNewham]

oooo I want a carbon bonnet... not that it would suit a 1.1 lol

[Tony_Jay86]

If i had the money & you could get enough interest i would have a carbon centre console, carbon speakers covers, carbon glovebox handle & a carbon bit that surrounds the speedometer unit, but like i say, enough people probably wouldnt be interested as most of them just spray them silver or put carbon effect stickers on them
