I'm still looking for people to make carbon bits....
....not really having much luck 
My search has brought up a lot of companies, but no one willing to take on the work
Has to be someone out there

either you will have to pay well over the odds for the few, one off items you want doing or get a batch of each made up. simply its not worth it.
its a case of get your cash out or forget about it.

Not being funny.. but would you ACTUALLY get the bits, if a company said they'd make them?

My second cousin was making a whole car out of carbon fibre, and trust me... it is pricey, but if you are serious about getting it done, and you have the money to support it, then i could put you in contact with the company he used.

I need a modified heater control unit (Ie ashtray and cigarette lighter blanked off so I can dit the DEFI control unit into it.
I need the dash clock surround done with the main heater vent blanked off to fit the three DEFI guages.
The pocket and headunit surround for the center console.
Two interior arm rest handles.
No huge bits to do, just fiddly.

I reckon there is nearly a weeks work there making the moulds and getting it all right.. Got to be looking at Ł700+ !! You will probably find it costs almost the same to make 10 or 20 as it does to make 1.. Talk to companies about making several and think about arranging a group buy, the prices will come down massively!
