Nice, great work

If you get bored and make another tailgate I'll be your new best friend lol,

This looks like excellent work! Well done.

Incredible work Paul, very jealous of your abilities lol :thumbup:

Very nice!

Very nice Paul, would you consider making parts for small group buys?

Possibly depending on what parts people are wanting?

Not sure what the general consensus would be, but i've always thought the following things in carbon fibre would be really awesome:

 

OEM wing mirrors - no craziness just the same oem design in gorgeous carbon fibre.

Steering wheel side pods (not the control button fronts but the larger part that fixes to the dash)

Top dash panel above the speedo cluster

The plastic surround around the speedo cluster

The steering column covering

Interior door cars!!!???

Standard front wings

 

The interior parts would really make it stand out...

Rear tailgate would be cool

Any of the above, as well Paul

Front wings will be being made shortly

Rear tailgate for the swb I could do

I could do a LWB tailgate but the group buy would need more people as I'd have to make a mould for them

Nose panel of could also do

 

I've got a few parts on the go at the minute as well so will keep people up to date on them once there finished

Just so i know what we are talking about could i get some ROUGH estimates for prices? obviously the tailgate would be 150+ but just to make sure.

Tailgate would be alot more than £150 can't make them for that much

Tailgate around £750 these are $986 plus around $600 shipping from America so about £1100

 

Nose panel £110

If anyone wants anything specific drop me a pm

I didn't really have anything to judge the price form so forgive my heavily undervaluation. :thumbup1:

That's ok there's alot of work involved even in the simplest of parts

And the price of carbon plus all the consumables are expensive

Good work there buddy, is it possible to have different colours other than black?

You could have kevlar which is the yellow and black weave

Also blue, green, red and orange

You using resin infusion chap?

I'd like to see it first hand once you've done. But I'd definitely be interested in a swb tailgate, purely for weight saving, I'd probably paint it.

Front wings, oh and scuttle panels would sell well IMO

That's nice work there mate......:bow:

 

......You are certainly going to get a few requests over the ensuing months! Naturally it's too early to think about being a fully fledged trader - but you might be interested in this facility - if you want to see how things go...:wink:

HI Richard like your say it's a little early as most thing's I'm doing are for may own project but if I do get any orders as a result I will definitely look at being a paid trader

For what it's worth worth I think there is a real business opportunity on here with those.

Possibly a little to early to say as there's always alot of interest but with carbon products not being the cheapest it's not always easy to get buyers

No worries mate - that's why I suggested you might want to take advantage of the "services to members" section before taking the full trader's plunge:cool:

For some more ideas i think the throttle cover and/or radiator shroud would really make the engine bay much nicer.

Yes but also looking to make an oven big enough to make panels in prepreg
