As the title says, i have a good friend who can make thinkgs from carbon fibre. im looking to see if we can get say 20 people who would be interested in having interior parts made from real carbon fibre.
I notice the 3m route of carbon wrapping is taking off but if i can generate some interest in these parts, im pretty sure that the parts will be cheap.
Considering ebay the price of 3m film is about £15. If i can get some interest in this, i can start getting some bits made up as prototypes, pics up etc and start getting them priced. If anyone is interested please pm me or post what you would be interested in having carbon fibre'd.

Ok guys, update-
Have got some mk4 interior bits on the way and will be making the first sample of the full mk4 interior kit. I am also making the first few mk2 bits, 90 spec side moulding GTI badges, Glovebox door, Ecu scuttle cover etc.
please feel free to contact me about any parts you are interested in interior/exterior
Then im gonna need some voulenteers who will try the mk2 bits out and report to everyone the quality ect. Untill i have made the first ones i cannot really price the kits up to an exact price.
i am hoping in the next two weeks, i will have the prototypes done and photos on here along with prices. hope this helps and i will keeps the thread updated.

personally I couldn't think of anything worse that screwing carbon fibre bits to my car.
might look ok to some people eyes, but it just seems like a waste of money, when you could be using the cash for a re-map, exhaust, i.e. something that is actually useful!
each to their own. :evil:

these will not be screw on items, the kit will be an exact replacement for the standard items, a bespoke interior replacement!! :smiley:

screw, clip, replace OEM, bespoke whatever, it doesn't matter, its still carbon fibre

i think its fair to wait till there are some photos posted up of the kit, and photos of them fitted to an interior. I think they will be very tasteful indeed, each to their own but in my opinion they will look much better than a fake wood trim in the mk4's for sure.
thanks rhyso!
