4. Sapphire / Escort door handles.
5. Sapphire grill.
6. RS500 style front splitter
Carbon delight make sapphire mirror covers ,the door handles they only do now if its with a big order (not enough in them to make on their own when the time could be spent on a bigger item) they do a sapphire grille ,500 splitter ,rear number plate surround , c pillers , roof ,4x4 bonnet ,boot lid ,spolier ,spolier lip

Ive got plans for a loo seat. What you thinking, vw/audi style lifters??

I want to do some furniture too like coffee tables etc but at the moment it would be for me as like porkie says, theres lots who want stuff but wont part with the money.

Id agree. once certain old cars get of a certain age, they are either too old so the market is small for expensive mods like carbon, or they become rare and although a market exists it will be limited. fine you might still make money on group buys of parts but i wouldnt bet on such a regular income.

Ive noticed there are a lot of dreamers. Currently i make only stuff i want for my car or stuff thats fully paid for as porkie says, people want stuff but cant afford it. Or they think it should be dirt cheap or for people doing it for a hobby like me, they think i will do it for fuck all

i was going to suggest that. you could even make a cheaper fiberglass alternative for people who want the standard look as originals are expensive & the wing parts arnt available. i was going to make my own once but then lazyness got the better of me

Don't know if it's been mentioned, not read the whole thread, but what about doing bumber inserts. Someone mentioned doing the door mouldings and thought the bumber inserts would compliment these.

Is it just the light or does it look like plain weave rather than the usual 2x2 or 4x4 for cosmetic parts??

I want a 3 Door carbon steering cowell but with a better design where the two halfs meet so you can actually screw them together the standard design is shit.
I'd order one right now if you could do it.
