Default Reverse scoop , bonnet grill , carbon fibre wings

Hi all , I've been working with carbon fibre and fibreglass for the last 12 years or more and was wondering if anybody would be interested in any of the above with either a gel coat finish in white so easily painted or carbon fibre

Pretty much anything on the market that is made either from fibreglass or carbon fibre I can make so show a bit of interest peeps and il get this on the move so we ain't all paying through the nose !

The bits will be made to order and if I'v not done that particular bit before I will need to make a mould first so the wait would be slightly longer say 7-10 days but if I already have a mould made for that particular part the wait would be 3-4 days delivered to your door

PayPal would be preferred (safe for everyone) or cash on collection

I'd be interested in some wide arch 22b wings. I have a spare pair you could use as a mould. They're in fiberglass. also a classic boot. Price dependent obviously.

Need4speed that sounds great did you want the wings in carbon fibre ? Boot aswell Carbon fibre ? If you was to give us your wings to make a mould I'd do you a set of wings for next to nothing

I'm not great on prices so if someone could give me a rough figure what some fair prices would be il get to work !

And could do a reverse scoop for any model tim ! Il get my hands on a few for different models and knock them up ! again not sure on a fair price will have to look about and see what stuff is selling for on eBay and so on unless again people can come up with some fair prices

I'm hoping to be able to make a modist living off this eventually as at the minute I get paid a stupid amount of money but I have to work away and the misses is not keen on me being away in London for 2 weeks at a time and only being home for a weekend then back again and to top it off I'v just had twins lol

What I may do aswell is to see the mods and see if they fancy doing a few competitions (picture of the month) or something like that and give away a couple of bits as prizes to get my stuff out there so people can see the quality and so on

Bloody hell ! Been looking on eBay at the prices charged for some carbon bits it's robbery for some of it lol !

Carbon boot £650 - 700
Spoiler £400-450
Bonnet £700-750
Wings £400-450
Scoops £200
I seen a rear bumper for £1299 lol

Now I know these aren't cheap to make with carbon but the mark up on these is astronomical lol

One idea that may be of use to you given you are making the moulds is to offer the parts in either fibreglass or carbon fibre. That would cover the market for the guys who want the carbon look and also the guys who just want light weight parts.

Right guys quick question on how people would prefer it to look !
Now I can make them so that you could see the carbon fibre weave on the outside so to look at it that would be what you would see but this would look ****e and chavvy to me and would be a lot tougher to get a nice finish visualy . I think a gel coat finish would be far better and easier sprayed to match car colour !
The panel would still be light weight and strong but would look a standard panel when sprayed but this is up to you really !
