What would you like to see in Carbon?

youngsyd · 10-10-2007, 12:49

I have a very good mate who makes me Carbon Fibre parts, and ive been thinking, what would you like to see made into Carbon Fibre?

Do like a GBP sort of thing.....

Cheers.

Sausages always look good in carbon.

At least I keep telling myself that whenever I burn them on the BBQ...

ultra_joel88 · 10-10-2007, 13:01

Engine cover maybe.

or the black part of the skoda badge?

youngsyd · 10-10-2007, 13:03

Im getting my old chrome grille insert done first see what its like....

stevenh · 10-10-2007, 13:35

Salma Hayek?

Bigw2069 · 10-10-2007, 13:51

An Actual Footprint

Other than that Only really an engine cover would appeal I think.

Basil · 10-10-2007, 14:20

adhesive dash covers maybe?
adhesive fuel door plates?

ultra_joel88 · 10-10-2007, 14:22

coolant cap or oil cap.

Engine cover would look good!

I think a spoiler would too!

Snoopie · 10-10-2007, 15:02

Carbon bonnet

youngsyd · 10-10-2007, 15:10

Hmmm keep the ideas coming people!

Got to thinking basques, etc done in a carbon stylee...

I would like to see an engine cover tho (1.8T)

youngsyd · 10-10-2007, 15:31

Ill see what he can come up with...

Babs · 10-10-2007, 15:32

rear hatch?

spoiler?

bonnet might be good, but standard shape so you could paint it for stealth

could go extreme and have door cards and dashboard

AR-CoolC · 10-10-2007, 15:44

Roof panel

youngsyd · 10-10-2007, 16:03

Im thinking of bare carbon mirror caps, as they could appeal to more than just fabias...

He said the chrome grille in carbon would be easy, so im gunna get one done (for asthetics obviously!)

Mirror caps would be good!

I think a subtle splitter in carbon, similar to the cupra one will be good. Also maybe some very subtle side skirts in carbon too.

Sounds a good idea, but every time it gets scraped it will just split and crack. And of course be expensive each time to replace.

parsko · 10-10-2007, 17:16

hows about little covers to protect the paintwork from fingernail scratches behind the door handles.

Im thinking of designing a splitter very much like the cupra one, but one that fits spot on, and is carbon.

It could be made so its stronger though....

Also an air intake like a PD 160, but carbon, and hopefully a lot better flowing too!

That would be a great idea - if you can get one that has a bigger opening and hoses going to the airbox, you'd get a ram-air effect straight off....

Also an easy-to fit air cowl to put on the hood maybe?
