just to have my own thread, coz my other posts went unnoticed
Has anybody got the standard lights (any lights - well except the headlights i suppose) - like the front park lights or rear lights?
who's got the altezza lights on - hennie? your standard ones up for sale?
also suggestions on like gauge pods or anything mouldable.
enough talk, time for me to get beezee with my moulding plans.
come on people - its for a great cause!
(if you dont have for the sx, let me practise on those golf/honda lights you've got lying around)

hey widowbreaker!
i've seen the b-pillar garnish from the sx made in CF, and it looks the dogs bollocks!!!
i dont have any lying around though.
but i do have a fan shroud - although thats booked to daniel.
hmmm....
i guess i have nothing then.
have you spoken to vlade - that booi has plenty of engine bits. maybe you could find the right resin to use to make a clear cam cover??? like they've got for the rb motors???
i will ask those damn VW friends of mine!!!
could you make carbon fibre old skool beetle fenders???

cool ideas -
beetle fenders might be a bit big to start, but on the other hand its not heat moulded, just normal resin kinda, so why not?
wanted to start off with smallish thingies - havent worked with fibreglass for a while, but it'll come back to me im sure

oooh, ok, well maybe. you kinda lost me there when I read about your knob.
probably possible, or possibly probable. I once bought fibreglass from a company up here somewhere that also sold CF. I cunt remember who though - any ideas? Then I'll go and buy a sheet or three and start playing. Im sure we can come up with some kewl thingamabobs

ali and CF is awesome man.
didnt you say that you work close to fairland???
i'd dig to see what you have access to there, maybe we can make a plan.
i know where to buy resins and CF, and fibreglass (chopped strand, matted sheets too, its carbon lookalike but less expensive!!!) up here in edenvale near croydon actually!
i've been keen on doing something like this for a while now. so count me in!
