Hoppy Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I've been recently dealing with a chap in the US, who runs a carbon fibre parts making and wrapping buisness. http://www.carbonfiberwrapping.com/ I recently purchased a RHD carbon wiper cowl from them, which i recieved and fitted today. This was the first part from the mould, and the first in existence, as far as i know. The quality and fitment is excellent too! Here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180608937179 Fitted pics below. I will be sending him a few more RHD OEM parts in the near future, which he has agreed to replicate in carbon fibre. So watch this space if you like your carbon goodies. I'll update when i know more http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/2415/p1010822f.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/1204/p1010826q.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/861/p1010827a.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/5250/p1010829c.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/9372/p1010830w.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradleyh_15 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I think a fair few members may be interested if only to revamp their own panel as they look tatty and faded! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I reckon that'll be a nightmare in the rain. I'd prefer a refurbished stock item personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blueangel Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I was having these made but the company making them are useless and keeping in touch its been months now as i think i started this at the beginning of the year these were the guys i was using [email protected] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 i nearly bought one of these the other week from that company, looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsup69 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I was the one that sent my wiper cowl to them for them to take the mould from as he only made us spec ones at the time. Just waiting to fit mine and have to say are awesome quality. Personally think it transforms the look as all the standard cowls are faded now. Out of interest Hoppy what else are you planning to had made in carbon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edge Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Gives it a modern touch. Even in a standard black finish it would like very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Will be interesting to see the condition of the resin once its had some sunny days (and UV Rays) on it. Hopefully the chap has used a UV stable resin, otherwise it may go milky/cloudy over time. It does look well made though, couldnt see any air bubbles in the pics.

hodge Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I painted mine gloss black and it looks the nuts now. Just out of interest why is there a hole in it on the passenger side. Is it a universal item for wipers either side as in LHD or RHD. If you can get 1 specifically for RHD I'd be interested but I couldn't live with the hole. I know it's anal but my OCD would be on overtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
