Hi there guy's
Yes i am virgin newbie to this site and this may not be the right or perfect place to be posting this and i would like to say i do not want to upset any of the moderators , its just that living in the uk as most here do i wanted to ask a larger audience of mk3 golf owners if they would be interested in buying various carbon fibre body parts for a great price ....and yes i'm to a mk3 owner tdi of course :wink: .........i think anyway and these can also be made in grp/fibreglass for a 20% reduction in price...........but as my contact pointed out to me "the carbon price is so good you may as well have them done in carbon.
Another point you would ask would be how much are you making on this deal , well when you see the prices you will quickly see not much if any........just enough to cover any costs of shipping plus finders fee because this deal probably will not be repeated again and i just felt that its taken me so long to find someone with the sort of prices most people could may be aford.
This is a genuine deal and i think you guy's have a rolling road day at WELL LANE TURBO'S in batley west Yorkshire some time's , well i hav'nt seen him for some time now but i have 12 of superchips remaps/chips Barry put in for me and little billy owns the company.......if you ask Barry about a guy with a green mk3 tdi owned by a guy called stephen moses that would be me.
These are the parts and prices offered for mk3 golf's
1) Full Carbon bonnets twin skin good quality £250 + vat.
2) Full Carbon boot lid same = = £250 + vat.
3) Full Carbon dash board = = £299 + vat.
3) Full Carbon doors for 3 door models only £299 + vat each.
4) Front radiator grill spoiler £140 + vat.
I'm not shaw yet but i may be able to obtain some proper motorsport gear changers/shifters like the cult society ones but better ( the real deals ).
There may also be some other charges to cover courier but this will depend on how many if any one desides to buy , you can contact me at partners e-mail lisa.longbottom@ntlworld.com where i live cheers.

any mk2 products? :wink:
-
Hi m8 ..........Well he's already told me that they don't do mk2 dash boards but the rest of the panels 'm not shaw , because i did ask him but only got that back as an answer so i'm still not 100%.........i'll put the question again though.
It would be good if he did cos i know there's probably more mk2 boy's who would be interested in this one , its just that these guy used to race the mk3 so went down all the development roots with the carbon parts for the mk3's.
Just for anyones information i'm in the West Yorkshire area Leeds.

i work making carbon parts these prices seem cheap to me???
sein as the price of carbon has gone up very much due the availability of raw materials.
are the bits made with polyester or epoxy resin.
im currently in the process of makin carbon parts.
cam cover battery box slam panel and rocker cover etc...
-
Hi GTi3..........he asked me what i was using it for at first ( racing drag bling ex ) and i said it was for weight saving a bit of drag racing but not what you do which is rally driving , so he ses to me "so you want more for bling" and i said weight and bling "they've got to look good too" so he said that they will weigh around a kilo more in weight then at around 7kilo's........i take it GTi3 this is because of the epoxy resin.
The ones this guy uses are about 4 kilo's single skined for rallying.
The rear door i'm going to spray anyway but its only a case of asking how good a Finnish and for what purpose , tell me GTi3 how much would you charge or would it be for a carbon mk3 dash board and a door ? I've ordered a bonnet and rear door just to test the water................and get this guy's he does the mk2 bonnets and rear door as well haven't yet confirmed the prices but even if its the same as the mk3 ones its still cheap.
He tells me these are all trade prices which i'm only passing on to everyone else plus a little finders fee but as you can see its still not bad money.
I know how bad eBay can be so if anyone wants to come along to my place to check me out ex and for her indoors to cook a meal have a bear that sort of thing your more than welcome , just so you know i'm not leaving town.....................with all the baggage i have it would take me a year to pack .........unlike Robert DeNiro in Heat.
If you could pread the word GTi3 that would be nice because this site seams to be a bit on the quiet side to me.
Regards,
Steve.

hi mate all sounds pretty reasonable if ya wanting cosmetic finish polyester is usually the way but its not as strong and effective regards to weight etc but epoxy is strong light and ya can get a good finish but its better to get it laquered.
we made a bonnet for a crx for some guy and my boss was charging 500quid a piece..
which i think is pretty expensive.
yu wanna get some pics sorted it will create a bit more interest this stuff will sell.
i know cos i make motorbike parts to sell.. mudguards etc
-
Yes your right with the picture's i'm still waiting for him to send me some plus this is way i've ordered a couple of items for myself just to get a feel of the sort of quality these parts are like as to not disappoint anyone , i've sent you an email GTi3 of my motor (mk3 tdi) what do you think?
-
do you have pictures of these products?
are they completely carbon fibre or just standard ones covered for the look?
all smiles do bonnets for £500 and doors for £1000 (each!) so your prices do seem very cheap...
-
Yes they are full carbon fibre parts and yes i agree when i have received the bonnet and boot lid from my contact i will take pictures of them and have someone Host them for me because i'm not good at that sort of thing , and if the parts are not up to scratch i WON'T be selling them ( no wool over people's eyes here ) i can assure you.
I'm taking the pictures because my man tell's me that the ones he has are from rally cars and were all painted and have been damaged in one way or another and then repaired again , i've been talking to some of the big boy's one in particular but i'm not shaw i want to go down this root...........it was an idea in which to have a bigger audience and sell them from someone who has a good rep................keep in mind this has snow balled in the last few day's and i think i would rather make these product available to the Mr average like myself and not make them unattainable and pipe dreams but affordable items.
So if they are up to scratch in the quality and fitment department and you like what you see and the prices fall with in your budget post your name tel number or email address or any form of contact details and state which body part you would like to buy some time in the near future , depending on what sort of response i get back from people determines which body parts and new moulds will be made and if there going to be justifiable this may also alter to some degree the final prices althou they won't be any higher..................this is mainly in reference to the doors,dashboards,and wings,boot lids of the mk2's

Name: Dom
Contact details: little envelope over there <-
Parts:
1x Carbon bonnet.
Just a quicky, if you're a private seller why are the prices plus vat?
-
Very good point Dom mk3...........i supposed i should have just added on the vat and then submitted the prices but i think you would agree that if this had have been done the cost/prices of these panels would still have been a good one............No this is me trying to be as transparent as i can in away , its only because my man is doing the same with me.
I will amend the prices if you or anyone wishes to include the vat...........or not which ever??
-
Bump................is there know one?
-
is this cash? through a company?
-
Hi Dom ,
    Yes....but as yet where just seeing if there's enough interest in these parts to warrant spending us investing in this project , but hay if the price is right for the both of us we will accept cash,cheques,which ever but if you prefer some for of validation i can and will use this business for your total satisfaction and any warranties period we give the parts , this guy is a well known vw tech and his site is here just give him or me a ring www.centralvwaudi.com
If you know any other guy's who would be interested we are prepared to give a one off price to the first 12 people who buy.
My No 07921-373311 call me any time and we hope to have pictures shortly........but give us some time / no money needed at this time just interest thanks,
Steven Moses.

That's alright, I've gotta wait a couple of months as replacing the gearbox and suspension first!
-
Ok........so if anyone is interested in the near future will you post like this:-
I will then log this information down and let you all know of further updates ,
on the final pricing quality and fitment etc.
1/ NAME
2/ CONTACT DETAILS
3/ PANELS REQUIRED
Apart from mainly the bonnets which most people would want to be in nice shiny glossy bling which does add to the weight some...i take it most people are doing this as we are for the weight saving , which would mean unless other wise stated will be more of a matt finish for prepping and painting which can account from 1 to 3 kilo's depending on which items/panels are chosen
P.S.............Four door models can be catered for also .
-
When we go ahead with selling these parts they will be sold through this web site www.centralvwaudi.com .
-
A picture would be good.
-
Yes you are right............hopefully in the very near future.
-
Cool, I might be interested in a Bonnet. Do they need paint (for protection not colour matching) or can they go straight on?
-
If you don't want to paint it you can have it bling with plenty of gelcoat.
-
Any developments with this then??
Very intreseted in a carbon dash
-
Hi.............i haven't been on this site for some time plus my computer crashed , in fact i should be taking stock of a couple of mk3 carbon front doors ( for my 5 door version ) and as a favor to a guy called Devonutopia / aka Jason on the www.tdiclub.com a fabia carbon bonnet next week .
Because of other financial commitments at the moment i will not be putting the amounts of money into this as i was first wanting to , but if enough people order which ever carbon parts they would like i will only take a £40 charge on each part for my contact , so disregard any prices you may have seen because i will be doing them at cost.........and i will reveal the true cost of each part in euros.....and let me say you won't be disappointed.
As a clue one of the doors on a mk3 3 door version is 330 euros :shocked: :rolleyes:. , but a minimum amount of ten people would have to be on the have list.........and a full carbon dashboard is 350 euros.
Steve.
