Default Carbon fibre pannelling? Flocked dash? Perspex windows?

Anybody on here know of any places that could make/supply me some carbon panels for my esc RS?? Also looking for somewhere that can flock dashes and supply perspex windows?

All help much appreciated.

Nick

Don't flocking start this again Adam, for Flock sake!

Sounds like a cool project mate, get a re-build thread up in the 'Resto' section!

Central Blast did mine, cost £120.00 all in to include glovebox lid etc. Did a good job, however it's a swine to keep the dust off... Looks good though...

how do the windows fit?


do they go inside original mountings so you could still use winder or are they just riveted into / on frame


any ideas on a price on the all 4 side windows,

Perspex windows use sliders (if you want them) not designed to go up and down Gus.

They would scratch like **** and then look siht (SP ? )

Rear windows can either fit into original rubbers or just be drilled and screwed to the window lip (normally under the rubber).

Will save masses of weight, but you loose security and will probabbly leak if kept outside.

Contact Paul for prices via his phone or website.

Paul can add a coating onto it to resist the scratching but its expensive.

Polycarb will still scratch, its a plastic and not much can stop any plastic from scratching

Sliders are designed to get an A4 sized clipboard through, so a big mac is no problem, you just spill your shake all over you when tilting the cup over to go though the hole lol
