Battery cover and headlight covers should be easily done although I\'ll need a battery cover too copy as my mate has started making carbon parts himself and he is making a load of parts for my fc I thought I would see what I could have made for everyone

I think Mitch is the only uk resident with a battery cover, whether he is prepared to part with it, is a totally different question entirely...

I\'d send mine but the costs would be quite a bit and I\'ll admit mine has 1 or 2 cracks in it, so all in favour of Mitch donating his batter cover to a good cause say \'eye.\'

\'Eye\' ;)

i have one aswell .. but i have to admit , its seem better days !

would like a cooling panel , they are rather fancy

you could make a carbon idiot cluster surround i suppose

i suppose there are LOADS of stuff that can be done .. its just what people want though

Post by: grinder on January 25, 2012, 05:20:47 PM
vented headlight cover would be cool .. saves you having to spray it up to match the car ( i have one in the garage somewhere ! )

not sure what you can make in carbon fibre to be honest

i have some rear mud flaps at home ( had to import them from AUS ) so not sure if you could copy them , as they are soild rubber

Title: Carbon parts for fc what do you want
Post by: the hat on January 25, 2012, 06:24:19 PM
Yeah the surround for the warning lights is being made and so will headlight covers

Tbh the battery cover would be great as most people want a battery cover it\'s just getting one that\'s the issue

He will
Also
Be making some re a style gauge holders that fit inside the drivers door vent

I can\'t think of much else tbh

Possibly compression tubes from a copy of my sniper one ???

Title: Carbon parts for fc what do you want
Post by: the hat on January 25, 2012, 10:24:40 PM

you should get your rear spoiler copied, nice carbon version of that would be sweet.

I would quite like (and it may already exist, but I haven\'t seen it) a Turbo II style bonnet in carbon fibre with the scoop still functional. (The only one I\'ve seen had the scoop filled in)

How much would something like that cost?
Title: Carbon parts for fc what do you want
Post by: grinder on January 27, 2012, 01:36:43 PM
^^ errr im guessing at lots and lots
Title: Carbon parts for fc what do you want
Post by: the hat on January 27, 2012, 01:52:17 PM
Yup really expensive mate and my mate wouldn\'t be making one offs so best bet would be too contact ep racing
Title: Carbon parts for fc what do you want
Post by: Skifledanabit on January 27, 2012, 01:56:36 PM
I dread to think how much it would be, you\'ve got the two parts, the bonnet and the scoop itself, all the support structures and crossbeams, the latch has to be attached somehow... Personally, I\'d find an aluminium bonnet and just carbon vinyl it instead...
Title: Carbon parts for fc what do you want
Post by: B.Martin on January 27, 2012, 01:58:16 PM
Didn\'t RE-A make one with a wider scoop? You want to talk to Liam mate, he\'s the best man for finding stuff like this, but as Stu said it won\'t be cheap!

Yeahbit has 14x8.5 all round with a home-brewed widebody pickup conversion custom coilovers with multi link rear end and most of all the ca18et engine with t28h turbo aftermarket management and all the associated gubbins makes for one crazy Micra

What about a carbon airbox that uses the stock fixings, or even just one of those custom heat shields that fits nicely under our bays, like the pic below

I asked for carbon door cards that will have a recess for my new doorbars as I don\'t like cut up doorcards

Yeah you keep thinking that\'s gonna happen lucus

It\'s just simple stuff just now as fancy bits require origanals so a mould can be taken if you have all these parts then they could be copied
