X Sport is it ? maybe try him
There are a number of companies I know I could commision to produce carbon door cards. I was just wondering if anyone knew who did Stians, as if they have a mould it will be a lot cheaper than a custom job and the quality of his cards are superb
Jamie,
Speak to Alan Whittaker at motordrive directly, he's a sound down to earth bloke and he definately has the moulds....
If you tell him the type of finish your after and explain your criteria i.e. better finish than the rally car ones i'm sure he'll be able to sort you out, especially if you give him a decentish order....
The ones in my car fit ok, but i'm not your average bufty....lol, they'll never feel OEM, but if you bonded some sound deadening etc onto them and fitted them with lots of car i'm sure they'd be fine...
On another note, the WRC cars had different manual winder mechanisms, not a problem if you're using electric windows, but the carbon door cards usually have the manual penetration cast into them......
Ive modified mine to take subaru WRC winders, which are a hand wheel....
HTH

Thanks Ian, I ahve dealt with motordrive - I ordered my tunnel liner, footliners and a dash blank kit. But I found the quality not ideal. With regards to stuff liek the tunnel liners, if they are gel coated do you think that would make them look more 'showy'? lol. I am gettign carbon panels including new doors so I wont be having electric windows anyway
BTW could you send me some pics of all the carbon bits fitted in your car
Unfortunately, I think this is where the cross over from smart track cars to rally cars fails, although most well prepared rally cars look good the carbon, titty, and all the blingy bits are there for a purpose....i agree the finish isn't sometimes as good as it could be but it's I would say down to the way in which the guy who casts the parts is thinking....if all he's concerned with is the functionality, he might be lax a daisy with the gel coat etc, if he's instructed to be precise with the gel coat for a decent finish, you might get a better product....
The tunnel liners....hmm... I had one in mine, didn't like it and you'll probs have to chop it to get the sequential in....have you trial fitted that yet as you may have to modify your tunnel on the drivers side?
It's the way the moulds been made i'd guess, but it seems odd that the outer isn't shiny, it might also be to reduce glare from the tunnel....if you spoke direct to Alan, i'm sure he'd give you an answer......
I havn't any pics of the door cards, i'll take some later and post em...
