Paul Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Does look like a front active spoiler on my bumper, but is actually an added on fibreglass lip connected to the main spoiler ! So what you're saying is it's fake ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyer864 Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 No it is a genuine early doluck front spoiler which as two parts to it ! the main front bumper plus a added front lip , but does look like an active spoiler by looking at the pics i guess !

Like you said, it is a fibre glass front lip, not a spoiler. I had the front lip once before a run in with a fox at speed, I replaced it with a carbon one... I just need those mirrors to match!

sauron Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Well remember this thread, or I can drop you line when all is in place. Seen the mirrors you done for Dyer.cracking job mate.just wondering if you think you could do a roof on an Aero top? If so how much u reckon it would cost?

Dave Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Nope. It is actual carbon fibre fabric wet laid onto the part then about 5-7 layers of resin followed up with a few layers of automotive lacquer. you mean proper carbon fibre ?and when you say wet laid what do you mean ??

Stevo Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Yes - proper carbon fibre with a 2x2 twill. Its not a wet layup in it's truest sense as I'm not molding the parts but essentially I still apply the fibre to the part using a 2 part resin mix to bond it.

Stevo Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 In theory, I suppose so, but they'd be hard due to the moving elements. The layering of the fibre, resin then lacquer on top ends up making the part thicker - so on a handle, their could be a risk of the mechanism catching or something... I'd have to give it a try really. Please bear in mind lads that I'm currently still waiting for the hobbyist to come through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Hadn't seen these before - thread revival I know - but did Stevo ever get hobbyist status for producing CF items!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Nah mate - officially applied but still waiting for it to come through. Been well over a year now..... Not sure whether it might be ok to do the odd piece from time to time or failing that I'll stick em up on ebay. Can a mod maybe advise please?

Ricky49 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Looks a good bit of kit your doing. Shame I have a silver car as I think a silver car and carbon looks a bit chavy. Otherwise I'd be sending you a box full of parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
