I hope all my customers are not like you pmsl
If it was me making the parts I would be working 24hrs might have to hold him a gunpoint to speed things up a bit

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
the plate that i was on about is a plate of carbon fibre 1/2 inch thick with the port holes and the stud holes in it and it is mounted between the inlet manifold and the head and this reduces the heat in the inlet componants which in turn allows the inlet air temp to be cooler

Looks the business
As ever though, price is everything. However much I'd like a carbon rocker cover, I can't stop thinking what else I could spend Ł500 on. If it was half that price, then that'd be getting serious.
Each to his own, and his own pocket too

There's enough market for it, I think..
When you have some parts ready, please post up pics.
Would be interested in camcover, fog light covers and rear window pillars/thingies

how about the inside trims to the rear window trims ?
also the front door inside trims ie the trim that has the mirror adjustment switch in it ?
also the saph roof strips with the two slidy covers on them for a roof rack pmsl
and the window switches cover, dunno how you would do it but something that fits over this switch with the holes for the window switches and the rear window lock.

window switch thing will be piece of piss so i'll get onto that straight away
Other than that there is some light at the end of my tunnel...............................I got some bits back at last ,as soon as I have time I will get pics up,I have got,
dump valve plug
engine lifting eyes
alternator bracket(this is so light compared to standard)
battery holder
no set prices as yet as these are the first products i have and would like to obviously try them out first and get any changes made that I have to,im really tempted to do stuff that will make a big differance in weight to standard stuff,so anything cosmetic dosent really need to be 100%carbon as its only for looks and will be costly and not really what i'd call effective,so engine parts are going to be the way forward cam cover is next on the list,my fingers are well crossed for this to work

Prices will depend on how much carbon you want,full carbon aint cheap but for cosmetic stuff abit of glassfibre isnt gonna make them look any worse just not as light.
The alternator bracket weighs less than 2 grams in full carbon,battery holder is well under a gram compared to 4.3g standard
