And how about my GS splitter for those who want their standard face-lift 4200 to look a little meaner?

Just watched this, it's not a difficult process, making the moulds and getting the face carbon threads to sit neatly is the bit that will take time:

With this process you dont need to lacquer after, although I think a rub down and lacquer would be of benefit.

I've been making small CF parts for a while now. It's not really any harder than fibreglass to make a part. However, just like glass, getting the finish right is the skill, and sadly not one I've mastered in either medium. Great for replacing those things you cant see though :)

Welcome, I'm all for supporting creative independent businesses, looking forward to seeing some good ideas bounce around.

Thank you, all your support is apreciated.

big welcome Kurt, do you have a website ?

Enzo unfortunately the website isnt finished at the moment it is still in the process of being worked. should be up and running fairly soon. Web address is www.Future-Carbon.co.uk. Thanks

splitter, ruddy great huge splitter to glue the front end down. Probably pay for itself in reduced tyre wear after a couple of track days :)

Grinzzz put the ideas down as if there is interest i will make them. Thanks

Loz i look forward to hearing from you soon and see if we can work something out for everyone. Thanks

Loz / Kurt, if you need to borrow my MCV shifters to take moulds, I'm sure we can arrange it.

Emtee thanks for offering your parts im sure Loz will be in touch if that is something he has on his shopping list. Thanks


Thank you again to everyone for your interest and support i am very grateful.
