CF suppliers for the mk1

[Volksee77]

Anyone happen to know of regular carbon fibre parts suppliers for the mk1 now that performance trim have folded?

[valgamesh]

major disappointment about that, nearly ordered some stuff about 2 weeks before they went bust

no one has really stepped up , there has been talk of someone getting hold of there moulds, via edition 38 but we will wait and see.

mega shame .

i've sent them mail with a proposal to buy their moulds also for my rally car

Maybe we can give it a go ourselves, especially with the larger moulds! Buy a vacuum pump kit etc. My old flatmate made his own MTB out of CF! It will obviously take some skill and research though to get a reasonably good product! But will be awesome to say you can do it!

Yeah would love some cf 1/4 panals for the next project

CF/Fibre glass it isn't as hard as people think it is.. just time consuming. almost like painting a car (except completely different)
once you learn how to do it, you'll be all over it like a fat kid to chocolate cake

Yeah i explored that option ages ago before performance-trim but it has been dead for quite sometime and I don't think they ever got fired back up again.
