Default Who can make me a 1-off in carbon??

I want to make the lid of my Cold Air Box in real carbon. I have a Carbon Slam panel cover in Carbon, and would like this to match. I would make it myself, but the Carbon needs to have 2x 90' bends in it, and a 40'bend in it also.

I have the lid that is on there at the mo, but it is in 'Fake' Carbon-look plastic, which looks a little 'cheap' to me

Who wants to make me the lid in real carbon, but not charge me the earth for it!??

If you sent me the existing lid, along with a template to show exactly how it curves down/ bends then I could do one for about £60.00

Thanks,

Rob. I can send you the lid no problems, but can you assure me that it won't get damaged whilst being used for a mould etc..?? Basically, you would just need to copy the existing lid.

What sort of timescale are we talking?? Also, can you match the slam panel cover pattern as seen in the pic?? (ie diagonal weave)

Yes to both questions,
Im waiting for a shipment of carbon at the moment, should be here in 1 week max. the actual job will take about 3 days.Its not a big job, just needs plenty of time to cure between stages.

Rob's packed in MRO scoobystyling-he's now doing mobile paintless dent removal. He's even sold his Subaru and got a Mitisubushi ( can't remember how to spell it ) Warrior now.

Cheers Paul.
