blimey, good going that. You think you can squeeze in some custom stuff at a sensible price? I have a few parts I want lighter than standard.
Good going Mr Worth.

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.

No way mate,not given up just did'nt realise how long it would take,,the two guys who are doing it have to work then make it all in their spare time and they just dont have enough time to do it all as fast as I could sell it,but the good news is there is moulds made ,at the moment we have,

rear window pillars
rear door quarters
no plate surround
dump valve plug
engine lifting eyes
fog light surrounds
large k&n trumpet
door handles
throttle bracket


and more in the process

just taking time thats all,im hoping to have a few bits ready for when I go lemans so should'nt be lon till theres some products ready.

keep yours eyes peeled for sideways solutions

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.

Dont want much do ya

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
