From the top of my head I would have thought £80-90 Would be reasonable

Yes so for this instance that bottom link you gave me for the seals I could do probs do £80 as owners club discount.

But ill have to confirm pricing properly once people tell me what they want

Just an idea, a fairly new set (used for only 1 month) got sold for 50pounds. However, If you buy a feed carbon Sils, they will nearly set you back 120 pounds. So now you can see that the market is different for the designer marked product and a product build by someone who knows how to build that product.

I hope this will make sense. 80 to 90 pounds is not reasonable in my opinion. But, then who am I ? Lolll

You would say that :P . Wouldnt do less then £80 if 2nd ones went for £50.

Especially if these are £100

As i said, i dont do crap quality will be at the highest rating

£80 %20off, seems like a good deal to me

But thats my point without trying to dampen your enthusiasm they can already be had for that price  (and indeed cheaper if youwant to spend more time searching) so why would people buy from you instead?
 
Where as if you were making bits that cant be found elsewhere youd stand a better chance of selling more.:Thumbsup!
 
Like i said not trying to put you off the idea just trying to help:Thumbsup!

Deffo hear you buddy, because im new to the 7 scene im just going to put up what I can get hold of for now, at good prices imo, because cheap isnt always best, the quality of these items will be very good.

No, but if you have a peruse around the for sale section the cheap stuff is selling. The stuff which isn\'t necessarily cheap but still reasonably priced isn\'t selling at all. A set of Racing Beat wheels in good sizes and offsets and recently refurbed with awesome tyres on for £800 springs to mind immediately.

The number of people who have the money to spend on spangly bits is far less than it was a year ago. New or second hand.

I think you\'re pitching at the market at the wrong time personally. Everyone wants something for nothing at the moment.

What you need to remember price wise is that trying to compare your prices of parts to those that they are designed upon (feed, RE-Amemiya ect) then make them a little cheaper, while I can see your reasoning, many owners will choose the genuine part over the copy part (no matter how good the quality) if the price of the genuine part is not that much more than what your selling.
Also when it comes to quality, I am not trying to offend you but we done truly know the quality of the parts until we have bought then and they have been delivered, a picture only tells half the story. And while I appreciate what you say that you would not sell anything you would not fit to your own car, I have seem some shoddy cheap crap fitted to cars.
One persons idea of acceptable can be another persons idea of cheap and nasty.

I am. It trying to say what your selling is cheap tat with a price tag but simply staying to flip the coil and show a buyers opinion.

Your car looks good by the way.

Are you also gonna make some feed replica side skirts/steps in carbon?

Ada7

Ideas...

Dash panel parts - Dome, gauge cluster etc (much like Mazdaspeed did but not stupidly rare)
Door panels flat.
Rear light panels - Like the new Re Amemiya one, just to be different
Fuse box covers
Radiator cooling panels
Spare wheel well tool box (FEED did one of these)


Some crazy ideas...
Roof panel - Would have to be a section that could be bonded on or fitted once the roof skin was removed but i guess then it would have to be stuctual and could lead onto..
Rear 3/4 panel. Much the same as above^
Full carbon upper and lower intake manifolds. Complicated but would be cool
