Thanks for the feedback Donald. I'm planning on making some new parts soon so will get some fresh pics up of the finished articles then.

The downside is the the fact, as merc mentioned, I'm making parts for a Prelude. The way it seems to me at the moment I could make a run of perfect bonnets, like the best things you've ever seen, and would be able to sell maybe 1 at a markup of £5 at not shift anymore :roll:

The azect brows were a good example for me. Lots of people said they'd buy some and I sold 1 pair at a net loss of over £100. Supply & Demand, truoble being there's very little demand

On the photographs note: I don't think you're anywhere near me Alex?, but I'm more than happy to take some studio shots for you, I do loads of product photography. Could get the flash guns set up and really show them to their best effect 8-)

Just an offer, HTH.

Thanks for the offer dude, much appreciated! It's probably cheaper to post the stuff to you than driving anymore that 10miles in either of our ludes :lol:

I'm thinking of getting some parts made up soon, will PM some details through to you :D

:lol: Hey I still get 400 out of tank! :ugeek: (when I coast everywhere..)

Well in that case, can you start by posting the 4th gen bonnet, wings, boot and sunroof.
I'll try to get them back to you, but you know how so much stuff gets lost in the post these days.... :hurr:




In all seriousness, if you had a whole bunch of items ready to do, we could just do it in one hit one day.
Anyway, offers there 8-)

Nice one mate :D

I should be doing a medical study soon and provided all goes to plan tomorrow (mortgage application) I'll have the cash and space to get some decent parts made in the next couple months.

Got £3,500 for an anti biotic, a grand for lemsip, a grand for ibuprofen, 800 for strepsips. The list goes on and on :lol:

Would cost about £150 to make the mould.

If it can be done with 1 layer of CF and the rest glass fibre they could be made for about £250
If 2 layers are needed it would cost more like £300
