OllyB Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Does anyone know where I can get a replacement rear strut cover in carbon fiber. I’ve seen a few on here from traders but nobody is replying to PMs. I’m looking for a carbon replacement opposed to a stick on cover. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 i can do one that is carbon dipped, its painted finish, but it mean sno edges like you'd get on a stick on one, have one currently wrapped in carbon vinyl, but i'm planning on stripping it and dipping it instead. not sure if its what you'd be looking for, but thought i'd mention it as it might meet a need.

I was just mid way through typing to get it biscuit dipped .... Quote

OllyB Posted September 23, 2012 Author Posted September 23, 2012 I'm at work at the mo, lots of tea but lacking in biscuits! I’m really looking for a carbon replacement, the original has got some deep scratches so not sure a painted finish will be suitable, I’ve searched on here and there used to be a few traders that made replacements?

OllyB Posted September 24, 2012 Author Posted September 24, 2012 I've seen the covers and I agree they don't look that good, I'd really want a replacement but I'll keep you in mind. Quote
