I would do the same :lol: .

If you guys need some Ill see if I can make a plan, BUT let me know if you are keen cause those front bars are hard to find.

PS: this is the last time I am making, so if anyone else one tell me now.

Let put a list together as big as possible... Then we check what you can arrange...

and then we know what your product quality is like we don't have do judge from images we can go and see it on actual cars :D

We put a list together, if we reach a good amount they put in a deposit... so you don't have huge initial costs...

I'd say build one that fits your car... then build a test bench where you test fit it on... then you say you only build them if you have 3 or more...

The problem is it is very difficult to take the braces off without them moving and dont really want to take the chance of them going to JHB and they dont fit.
Wish I could think of something else I need to make, any ideas??
Maybe a 76mm turbo outlet/downpipe??

That is simple to make, just get the pipe CNC bent, a bit of laser cutting and TIG welding and your done. No offence but I wouldnt put that in my car, its too unpractical.

I would love to make those adjustable suspension arms, they will be easy enough to make. But the problem is I need samples and cant be with out my car :( .

If I had a sample of a short shifter that would be the 1st thing I would make. Its a bit of laser cutting and some turning and milling and its done.
