Carbon fibre

**Tomcat** · Wednesday 9th January 2013, 18:41

As some of the older members may be aware I had a go at carbon fibre a good while ago and it wasn't very successfull, being as I've still got some cloth left I'm considering having another bash at it, anyone recommend anything they'd like either coating or making in carbon fibre?. I'm not taking orders as I still need to nail down the technique but if I know what everyone wants then I can have a go at that for the time being, I wont be doing anything daft like full body panels as the price would be just stupid (unless someones got money burning a hole in their pocket) but small trim pieces may be doable.

I'm also still airbrushing as well if anyone fancies tarting their engine bay up..

did we ever get anywhere with a crash helmet design?????

**claymore** · Wednesday 9th January 2013, 18:57

are you going to do a bonnet, I have a mold you can use.

**Tomcat** · Wednesday 9th January 2013, 19:27

Umm, refresh my memory on the helmet, I vaguely remember talking about it but not much else..

dont really remember myself!! lol

I asked if you would design and paint my crash hat for me, maybe that was as far as we got?? pmsl

**Tomcat** · Wednesday 9th January 2013, 19:35

Lol that sounds about right....Pm me if you still want it doing, let me know what sort of design you have in mind and I'll sketch something up.

Some cool work there Tomcat! I'm sure somewhere down the line I could find some use for your airbrush skills, though at this point I'm after one of your V70R (1st gen) front bumper splitters. Do you have any already made or do you make to order?

**Tomcat** · Wednesday 9th January 2013, 19:43

Thanks Mark, I've got the stuff for airbrushing so whenever you're ready gimme a shout, as for the splitters...I make them to order, that way I don't end up stuck with any when someone orders one and then never pays for it. I'm about to order some more materials tomorrow once they arrive I can make one whenever.

**MA'R'K** · Wednesday 9th January 2013, 19:52

Oh I like that Bonnet.....not seen that pic before. I can certainly do something like that, lemme know what you have in mind, I'm sure I can come up with something.

I'd like some custom artwork for my engine/cam cover. I know I keep saying about it. Would also like a custom carbon airtake shield. I need to remodel my Ipd sheild as the maf has moved relative to the old one. Would like to use the existing mount points

I'd really like a carbon splitter suitable for the more curved shape of the C70?

**Slomo** · Thursday 10th January 2013, 12:37

can you do an engine cover for a S40 T4? Can supply one to make copy off?
Bonnet?

I can make anything you want if there's a demand for it,lol.

**Wobbly Dave** · Wednesday 13th March 2013, 09:47

Well I have a spare front bumper from a C70 - can you model a c/f lip on that?

**Brett855tdi** · Wednesday 13th March 2013, 10:14

I think we need some p1 bonnets.... l would love one for my c!
also a t5 engine cover.
how about a c boot lid?

**stribo** · Wednesday 13th March 2013, 10:17

I'd be interested in a C70 front splitter too.

**Wobbly Dave** · Wednesday 13th March 2013, 10:22

I have spare ME7 engine covers, C70 bonnet & C70 boot lid too - all which could be used for modelling. Depends on who wants what.

**Brett855tdi** · Wednesday 13th March 2013, 10:40

I would need a pre me7 cover, i think the bonnet and engine covers would b a good idea as they fit so many cars, obviously the boot is a different story but i think it could be real smart (and what i would need to shift some more weight)
