Fibreglass V70R front splitters

[Tomcat]

Had a quiet day today so I started on a V70R front splitter with the little bit of resin I had left. Hopefully have it ready for moulding at the weekend. New drum of resin coming any day now so I can get on with the other projects I have waiting.

[RTS70R]

Are they the carbon weave ones ??:biggrin:

[RTS70R]

How about some carbon wing mirror covers ??

[Tomcat]

No fraid not, just plain satin black Fibreglass...

[volvokid]

I've still got to return my other one to you :) been flat out at work should be good to send it this weekend!

[Happygilmore78]

Be good to see when they are finished and on.

[mightywolf]

Yeah I could be tempted into getting one.

[Tomcat]

Ok, I now have pics, however you'll have to excuse them because it's not painted and it's being tested on a crapy bumper I have lying around in the garage, the ones I'll be selling will of course be painted black, this one is just in primer.

850 splitter fitted to a V70R bumper.

As you can see the fit over the original 850 one is a lot better, it now follows the front edge of the bumpers..

Hopefully I'll have the mould done this week (if I can spare the time after work), failing that it'll be done this weekend as the original is now nigh on ready.

Oh and please excuse the complete tip that the garage is at the moment, I've just not had any spare time to clean up recently.

[Jim S70R]

You can put me down for one please, do I get discount for using one of my pics lol.

[T5frankie]

whats the damage for one of these mate?

[Rnash2002]

think this would fit the c70 bumper?

[si850r]

my 855 could do with 1 of those.......mmmmmmmm....how much

[Tomcat]

Hmm sure I replied to this before but is seems to have vanished... Yeah while it's you I'll knock you a few quid off...

Price for these is the same as the 850 one's. that's £80 plus £30 postage.

[Tomcat]

Haven't the foggiest, I don't know what the curve on the bottom of a C70 is like compared to either an 850 or a V70.

Lol worth a try, I'll definitely have one once they are ready.

[martybelfastt5]

[Jim S70R]

Hell yeh gotta have the right one lol, not sure about selling my old one it's pretty battered with stone chips!!

[Tomcat]

First one's just come out of the new mould, will post pics up later on/tomorrow if anyone's still interested.

[Chad]

[Tomcat]

Gawd, well this explains the lack of interest....would help if I told you all they're ready to go wouldnt it?,lmao. First one's ready, just needs paint, anyone want one?.

[Jim S70R]

I'll take one of your hands, though I'll have to wait till next month.

[Stuartieboy]

Are these still available? :)

[daza-b]

wow old thread, but me too!! lol

[Tomcat]

Bump....Still making these if anyone wants one, didn't know it'd been a year nearly since I last looked at it.

[p fandango]

How much are they now, including p&p

[Tomcat]

£110 plus £30 P&P bud.

[NORDIC R]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Biff]

Just been added to my wish list mate. I'd save you the postage though & drive up, we can compare our tatty r's & see if they will breed?

[Tomcat]

Lol, sounds like a plan, Wrexham isn't that far from here, I could even meet you somewhere.

[p fandango]

Ah, once I do get pennies to get one I could pick mine up & have a wonder round Demon Tweeks

[Biff]

I'd be up for a meet, sure I could arrange something at demon Tweeks if enough were interested? Maybe a bit of group discount too?
Failing that tc & mr fandango, yeah I'd happily meet up somewhere.
Obviously once my exhaust arrives. Lol

I can't afford anything for a few months, but sounds like an idea

[Biff]

For sure, I'm tied up with my wedding & a few must haves on my car so a few months is great.
I'll speak to my mate in Tweeks & see what I can do.

[Tomcat]

V70R splitters will be back on the menu again as of next week.

Took a good long while to chop it about to get the fit right, I had a couple of complaints about the fit on the old ones, shouldnt have any problems at all with these.

[siamblue]

Craig how are your thoughts on working with carbon fibre?

Not good bud, it's a pain in the arse to get right, I can make it structural just not pretty. Without all the vacuum bagging gear you'll never get it right.

Thanks mate,just on the bike forums everyone wants CF parts and the cost of them is mind blowing plus there is a huge amount of people that will pay for them.

[mikealder]

Craig, What's the price for the new version of the splitter as I have a V70R bumper for my car and was thinking of fitting the old splitter I have to it but the newer one looks better. As for CF look at Hydro transfer printing it, it will look like CF assuming you can find somewhere with a large enough tank - Mike

It is a very expensive procees Mike,i was quoted £200 per wheel to have it done.i could get a secondhand CF wheel for £500..why have something that is fake and still weighs the same..

Think you need to shop around mate, that's a ridiculous price, cost of materials to do 4 wheels would only be about £50 I recon. you could do a splitter yourself in your bath for about a tenner.

[T5RatherAmusin]

I no a company that does it around 60 a wheel....

Just make sure the wife has gone out before you try this, for some reason the female version of the human don't appreciate car parts in the dishwasher or bath - Mike

[darzmat]

[Tomcat]

True... But I also dont really like working in the middle of December January, resin doesn't like setting in -3 temps. Really I should be putting my price up a lot to dessuade people from buying any at this time of year,lol.

[Jim S70R]
