Carbon parts

[=Maverick=]

I was cleaning S30PES's S3 this evening when the discussion of carbon parts came up. Im able to make and get these parts made i was wondering if there would be any interest from others if i did?

Sounds interesting Maverick....what were you thinking of doing?

 

[10blazin]

cheaper than osir uk thats for sure have a look .... not sure if you will pay costoms though

Importing anything from the states will add near 20% to it by import duty and vat.

Im looking at making a rear diffuser, engine cover, battery cover, fuse box cover and slam panel cover. Also possibly a front splitter cover.

How about some interior parts?

Definately interested in the engine bay parts Maverick

I've got a friend that can do small bits for me, like the interior

I was thinking of the plastic bit on the door cards and possibly some custom made heater vent rings

you can get carbon engine covers already and also if you buy from the states and you get them to mark the item gift you wont pay any costoms

anything over the value of £28, gift or not, is liable for customs charge

haven't seen any engine covers for 2.0TDI

Yeah I think the current covers available are for the petrol engine.

You're right - and at rip-off prices! (well,IMO!)

Well having had a closer look today, ill be looking at making a replacement cover for the engine, going to try and retain the silver insert but it will only fit those with aftermarket induction systems, as for the battery and fuse box thisll prob be have to be done by covers over the oe to maintain the clips. The slam panel cover should be able to be done as a replacement but need to obtain one to have a closer look.
