    Carbon

    Just gauging interest for now, but where I work have just employed someone who moulds carbon fibre and I got talking to him about panels as he's done it for a number of years for many models.

    So, i'd like to see if anyone is interested in buying any wings? ( to start off with, other panels aswell) The more people the better really as it's costs to make the mould and it's pointless making it just for one.

    Obviously I don't have any prices, but I can guarantee it won't be as much as anyone else who sells them. (if anyone does)

    Cheers

    Good luck. No one will have the money for carbon panels.

    I'm currently looking for a new bonnet, roof and tailgate.

    Cheers, well as far as i've heard the rolls of carbon are quite cheap so i'll let you know on pricing Bonnet is next on the list as, in his words, "they're easy"

    Will have another word with him tomorrow and work out some prices.

    would any holes be required? Like for electric windows and obviously door handles.

    No door handle only the rest is up to the buyer tbh, i would add a pull strap and hole for the elec windows.

    Can you look into it?

    You need a hole to open the door. Some way to pull the mechanism.
