Right guys everything is bought and gonna start work Tuesday when materials are delivered !

Going to start with straight fibreglass wings then once I'v sold a few sets I will invest the money into buying the carbon fibre so I really need orders guys for some of the fibreglass wings I can then get the carbon fibre ones selling aswell as the scoops (reverse/standard) going in carbon

Cash on collection or PayPal only please as both are safer for both of us !

So orders up please for the fibreglass wings ! White gel coat finish so easy for spraying !!!!

I'v spoke to a lot of company's comparing prices and the were all above £210 so I'm thinking round the £150 mark for a set but if I can do it cheaper I will but will see total cost to me first but £150 is still Cheaper than anyone I'v spoke to by 60-100 depending who you call

I hope that seems a fair price coz I want to help you lot out saving you a few quid and get myself earning a few quid so let me know what you think

Pm me or comment below
Thank you

The price sounds fair, but I think I would be more interested in carbon fibre wings.

Sorry about that lol ! I'm starting with classic first and as soon as I get some money coming back in from the wings I will reinvest the money and then scoops and other parts will be made and also for other newer models and in carbon fibre also

I really need some money coming back in first so I can widen the range as I've invested over a £1000 into it already

The wings would be standard to start with but once I start to get some money back in then vented will be on the menu !
I'v really spent up at the min so need to get rid of a few sets to be able to do more so the quicker I shift a few sets the quicker I can re-invest

And nick they should be ready by Friday or Saturday but maybe before so if your interested send me a pm and we can arrange collection / courier and payment but as I said I would prefer collection so you are completely satisfied but I will accept PayPal ! I will upload pictures on here for you and everyone else to see the final product

as soon as I can afford to il start with a lot more items , only really starting with the wings as most bits I'm going to be making will be carbon fibre so the other bit I was asked for in fibreglass was the wings so will start with them to get some money back to get the carbon then will go with carbon wings and scoops and so on so on with different models and styles !

Really anything I'm getting out of this is going back into to widen the range so for a while I'm probably not going to make anything lol

And I'v seen the price of most bits and can pretty much guarantee il beet nearly any price you'll find for the same item/items

It was the 22b style wings I was after no massive advantage to me in standard wings, not sure your going in the right direction first off. A proper list of what everyone is after might make it easier to see where the real demand is. My guess is doors, boot, bonnet and reverse vents

Hi arch , wings are quick and simple to make a mould and recoup a bit of the money I'v forked out to buy more parts plus the carbon to then be able to make anything mentioned in previous posts ! With the price of the materials I'v bought I really don't have much more cash to be buying More parts to make a mould but I may stretch and buy the reverse scoop as a lot of people were interested in that but again it will only be available in fibreglass and not carbon till I get some cash back in , it really depends how well this goes on everyone on here buying really as I'm pretty spent up and lost my job last week so this is my full time income for the time being so really need it to work ! If I had the cash and was still working I would have bought everything and made a mould for everything mentioned up to now but life had other plans with my Job lol And the company went bust , probably through paying us the stupid amount a week they was

You can put me down for a facelift classic rcm style reverse bonnet vent if you do fella,not bothered about carbon as I can't see there being much difference apart from it looking pretty!

Tbh mate you won't be getting any money back from standard fibreglass wings as alloy ones are super light if not lighter than fibreglass.

As arch said wrong direction for me I'm after carbon fibre aswell as 99% on here I think this thread will loose interest quickly mate if your just doing fibreglass standard stuff as no disrespect to yourself as what your doing is great but theres a company who sell fibre glass wings for £180 posted and have 100% feedback so can't see any Benifits in going down that route I appreciate carbons expensive but it's obvious there's a lot of people interested on here so it would of been money well spent to buy carbon instead of fibreglass

When ever you get carbon I might be still interested but tbh I'm loosing interest quickly as don't fancy waiting the length of time Itl take for you to make money on fg bits

But best of luck and hope we are wrong and you do well

I wasnt making comment on carbon fibre v fibreglass as anything I get I am happy to have in fibreglass its a weight saving issue for me not gucciness.

The reason I dont think standard shape wings is the way to go is there is little to be gained, same shape, very very minimal weight saving etc etc.

I appreciate what your saying but from abussiness point of view why spend time and money making wings if no one wnats them just because they are easy. Doesnt make sense.

As I said start a list and see what people definately want in fibreglass then you will know what you can sell. I am trying to help as I can see you being left with a load of standard shape fibreglass wings and out of pocket.

Right gonna start with reverse scoop guys and Leave wings alone for now

And fibreglass wings deffo have one major bennefits over the standard and that is they are rust free for life !!!! I love to start the carbon fibre right now and if I hadn't lost my job I would have had the finances to do so but due to that I'v got to start like this and build my way up !


Anyway reverse scoop is first for now and p1 style front splitter white gel coat finish Ready for spray ! Will upload pics as soon as possible And when I do I will start a separate post just for the scoops and one for the splitter as to keep things more easily trackable

Arch is giving you good advise, forget the thing about the wings getting rusty, Standard Subaru classic wings are cheap, probably as cheap or cheaper than what you can sell fiber glass ones for.. so its a no go, unless you have vented ones etc etc that might catch someones eye.

I wouldnt bother with the Fibreglass P1 splitter either, everyone buys the Plastic ones now as the fibreglass ones are disaster to keep.
