They still have to be bought for that to happen. I remember on PUK a few months ago the last time one came up it took months to shift.

I dont plan on making hundreds of them and flooding the market, in the last year how many parts have i actually made?

Made and completed or made and left to gather dust? :P

Only joking of course, but yeah as much as people like your CF stuff and express interest, how many will go through with a purchase interests me... saying that it does have the bling factor though. I remember that bonnet spoiler taking ages to sell, think it dropped to around £120? I imagine (and quite rightly) that you'll be charging a bit more than that for a brand spankers CF one ;) so I think they will remain rare! Now... if you can get a ton over to 'mmmmerica then I think you'll be making $20-30k a month.

Id love to be making that sort of money from it, but its probably pie in the sky stuff.

And yes, at £120 Id probably be selling them at a loss. At best theyll end up in a fixed price on ebay being made to order.

The target, for me, is to get as many well made CF parts on the car as possible for the next JF and to get a CF stall setup around the track with the lude on show

Yeah that was an exaggerated estimate, but I think if you do as you've said, get a set of all your CF stuff on the car, and keep a set in reserve/maybe more of the small stuff just made ready to be shipped, sort yourself out on eBay International and an American forum... well I think it wouldn't be too hard to start making sales.

Maybe you could work something out with BlackShadow if he's on the American forums, just as a bit of a testimonial type thing.

Bun helping animals, I should just be your full time life coach 8-)

Imagine me waking you up, 5:30am and ramming raspberry and elderflower smoothies down your neck and taking you for a run, followed by a nice hearty omelette for brekkie to give you a morning boost ready for a day of fibreing carbon followed by a afternoon sesh on Bid-Up.TV :o
