Been speaking to Jim and apparently when running a 4" exhaust the rear bumper needs to be trimmed, I need to see the actual bumper in the flesh first to determine which is the best way forward, but you are correct there will be a mould for each individual size so everyone is catered for. All I can say is that we will do our best to ensure the best fitment for which ever model and 100% into it.
Jim, got your text mate, only just got back from work so a bit creak crackered to text back but your bumper is the one to bring old pal.

bigger garage is on the long term cards. need to be able to leave the car doors open for at least 24hours to make rear quarter moulds and a roof mould. rest of the panels i can take off the car over a long weekend and mould.

What about xr2i/rs turbo/rs1800 fog light surrounds???
Also what about carbon bumper strips and side strips for mk3 fiestas!?
What about a carbon charge pipe (like twins got made for his s2 escort....only not as big....so it doesnt mark the inside of the bonnet/dent the bonnet!! That could also turn to escort rst charge pipes and then "reverse charge pipes" for both the escort or fiesta rst!!
Carbon mk3 fiesta "wiper firewall", carbon edis4 and map sensor bracket.
Also carbon dash surround with multiple guages attached. Same goes with s1 and s2 escorts!!
And carbon "90 spec", "rs1600i", and fiesta rst spoilers would be nice....and also some "exaggerated" versions eg. Even the fiesta one with a "mondeo si" spoiler integrated, or the rs1600i spoiler could have the tail sticking up and out more!! Ohhh and rs500 style splitters for the escort and fiesta would be cool!!
Maybe im dreaming too much, but dont ask, ya dont get

Well it was moulded from Jimbo's saph which has had to be cut. I know the tailpipe on his is sticking out more than usual as its going to be running anti lag/launch etc so makes sense to move the flame thrower further away from the bumper.
I dont own a cossie (as much as I wish I did) so any advice from you privaliged owner is much appreciated.

Could do with mr gibbs positing a pic of his bumper up as the bit which got cut was inside, which follows the profile around the exhaust, im guessing that there is a bit of plat in the hanger rubbers which cause the exhaust to come into contact with the bumper but I may be wrong.
But in regards to the moulding fitment, which ever the customer asks for, the heat shield will be made to fit that car perfectly, if another mould has to be made the so be it. We will NOT let anything out the door which isnt 100%
The amount of composite competition which is out there at the moment is pretty fierce so quality and customer service is everything, these extra measures are what makes a composite manufacturer stand out from the rest.
We took a pic of the rear bumper with some pen scribbled on it for some feedback as to what people want so if jimbo gets 5 mins would be good to have some feed back from anyone interested as to how they would like it to look/size etc

Things that would be a good idea to do IMO (that aren't currently serviced by anyone on the market as far as I am aware):
1. Sapphire rear bumper exhaust surround.
2. Sapphire / Escort door mirror covers.
3. Sapphire 4x4 bonnet vents.
4. Sapphire / Escort door handles.
5. Sapphire grill.
6. RS500 style front splitter
These are the items that currently exist
3dr bonnet vents:

Can carbon cope with heat from the engine?i would love some engine parts in carbon.
If i remember right the old swedish blue escos had some sort of carbon inlet?
Parts i was thinking of were swedish plenum and solid water pipe joiners at the mo but im sure there is more.

Yes will be there with a new stall and plenty of examples not to mention great deals ![Smile](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
@ RST Aron - the parts for the fiest will be solely motorsport orientated, as its for my car but anyone who wants the same parts is more than welcome, but they will be stupidly light weight with no other purpose
