Recommended Posts

A full CF replacment cover is working out at £85 that will include postage to anywhere in the UK.

 

They will be available in the following colours:

 

Normal Carbon Fibre

Red Carbon Fibre

Blue and Yellow CF are no longer available as the price for them has more then doubled recently, therefore my suplpier no longer carries them

 

 

All the products are in a 1x1 twill and have the badge area smoothed off to allow you to place any after market badge on top.

 

With regards to payment you will not pay a deposit, only full payment is required once your item has been made and is ready to be shipped :thumbs:

 

Any questions drop me a pm or post in the thread and ill answer as soon as possible :)

 

The product has now been made with the first one installed in my car...please excuse the date on the pics as I wasnt sure how to reset the camera date :blush:

Hi,

 

I put up a thread at the tail end of last year talking about the parts I was planning on making for the interior. Now that ive got through the busy period at work I can start working on a few parts.

 

The first bit I am going to be making is a CF cover for the strut brace, as it was the most popular item in the poll :thumbs:

 

There are 3 possible ways of making this so which would you preffer?

 

1. A CF cover that just goes on top of the current strut brace cover (with the Z cut out)

2. A CF cover that just goes on top of the current strut brace cover (without the Z cut out)

3. A CF replacement for the silver strut cover

 

I am hoping to pull these out for between £50 - 70 in normal or coloured CF :)

 

I will have a definet price once I know if you want this to be a cover or a full on replacement.

 

Cheers

 

Bhav

 

I would go for one of these - preferably a cover with the z cut out, if not then a full replacement with the standard detailing retained. :thumbs:

Id prefer a full replacement with a zed badge dude :thumbs: saying that maybe without would still be ok so then people can go either way,id possibly have the z badge another colour B)

The OEM Strut cover is at the molders now...so once I get a price back from them ill update this thread :thumbs:

 

I am going to go with option no3, a full on CF replacement....however the badge area will be flat which means that you can go either way...stick an OEM badge on top or go for one of those lovely Tommy K badges :thumbs:

 

Expect an update in the next few days

The mold started being made today, I am planning on having the first one pulled out before the Envy Mod Day on the 20th March so I can get an idea of what people think of the product :thumbs:

Mark, it will look the same as yours excpet mine will also have the 3 dimples on either side of the zed badge and the zed badge will be smoothed out :)

 

On a side note I have talked to the love people at Envy and they can give a small discount on Tommy K badges, however I need to purchase 5 badges to get that price!

 

They work out at £73 a badge, if anyone is interested then add your name to a list for me please :thumbs:

The cover came to me on friday...I am very very pleased with how they turned out and had a few of the guys and girls take a look at them on the Envy Mod Day all were very impressed with the quality of the product!

 

If you have any questions please post in the thread :)
