big and small turbo ones........hhhmmm

Not sure if theyre different but they would look awesome,if the exhaust surround which is quite complicated to make can be done then im sure these can be made.

already thought about that one,would cost too much and be far too complicated to make unless it was smooth which i think would look very odd you could always use a lower splitter with a couple of holes for the wipers

that would prob be the one with the carbon effect stuff, is it sprayed on or something? [not the sticky backed stuff] looks good till really close up then you can tell its not real,the ggr st has it as well, you can apply it virtually anywhere, i prefer the real stuff though

so would i,lol, most parts would be far too expensive and wouldnt be worth it im afraid due to the initial investment and the amount they would sell [presumably why no one else has bothered] the sunroof console is an easy shape to mould until you look into it and realise that it also has 2 hooks that hold the sunblinds and the fixings are concealed beneath little hinged flaps which would be impossible to replicate in carbon ive got a few ideas in mind so will keep everyone posted on any new items as and when, although they will be simpler things,covers etc
