Interest in Fibreglass Panels

[t51rjohn]

All,
From the wanted thread of mine i see there is interest in fibreglass parts, what sort of parts would you be intrerested in and what sort of spec? ie Race spec or Road trim.

What sort of price would you guys see as acceptable for the below parts?

-Wings
-Bonnet
-Doors
-Boot (may be tricky)

Thanks John

ps if i need to be a registered trader to do this please advise through pm.

I guess if we replaced every panel possible with FG we'd all be flying

But we'd be pretty much fubar'd in a accident.

Can we get a FG chassis and inner wings? that's where mine rot most....

I got qouted £170 for a one off bonnet in fibreglass standard spec a while ago, not a bad price i rckon

Yeh but it was a one item mould if you know what i mean, the quality of the kits he makes were not to good , it was the bloke i bought the m3 side skirts from has been turning out some proper rubbish stuff as he now makes copy tvr front ends so spends more time on that sort of stuff, would have done it if i could have had assured of the quality.

the hatch would be light enough if we could get some lexan rear windows made.

To be honest you'll probably find it won't make much difference for most panels esepcially say the wings. They're so light anyway.

Bonnet and hatch should be essential though, the rear hatch is probably at least twice the weight of the bonnet.

Seems like there is some interest, i could do a group buy on stuff but would need a minimum amount of people who pay a 50% deposit.

If not interested in this i would do individual items which will cost more as there is no certain amount of products to be sold.

Rough prices for group buy

-Wings £100 for a pair
-Bonnet £175 for one std bonnet
-Doors - £150 each £275 for a pair
-Boot £250 as it will be tricky to make a mold of.

Let me know if that suits anyones budget and i will make some up and get this rolling.

The prices for individual sales would be as follows:

-Wings £150 for a pair
-Bonnet £225 for one std bonnet
-Doors - £175 each £300 for a pair
-Boot £300 as it will be tricky to make a mold of.


Thanks John

i would donate a mk2 bonnet with SE bulge if i got a good discount .
doors would be good as they weigh a ton, if i could replace most things in fiberglass then i could put a cage in there and it wun't be to heavy.
