The banana pods were made, but they didn't fit particularly well, and so being the fussy person he is, Marcus needed to go back to the drawing board. However, he got swamped with orders from Ralliart, so never got round to it.

If you want bonnets, you would need a MINIMUM order of six with deposits for him to make, and expect them to be around the £8-900 mark .

Again, anything else like that needs a minimum CONFIRMED order amount. I would be happy to organised something, but as I said, you would need firm orders of anything for him to make up .

Things are so expensive, because a mould has to be made of the existing item to start with and the moulds only have a finite life.....

Jaime, i know mate.

if only i knew they would fit around my cage

if they do then that will be more money alocated from me to your pocket



Mike, what about the air filter trumpets? surely that would be a relatively easy mould to fabricate!!?

And would you know anything about the centre dash sections (as Ian
@ Raceteck's car) - where to source from, costs etc??


Please and Thank you

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking .

As to your other comment, it will be treated with the contempt it deserves . However, I take it you gave your grills away for charity and didn't make a penny?
