JamieP Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Noel would be your best bet i guess, he would need the car though and something custom like that is going to be big bucks im betting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Noel would be your best bet i guess, he would need the car though and something custom like that is going to be big bucks im betting. plus you would need the other carbon bits to match super mega bucks.

a98pmalcolm Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Carbon boost pipes!! Never seen that before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Another way would see if they can be made from fibreglass then see if someone like speedwells can transfer dip them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Thats really tasty J. I could make it, but its making the moulds thats the bitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Yeah, as above - I could give it a shot but the time involved with the moulds would be considerable and therefore also costly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Woah they look awesome! I want! Sorry for being no help and just sitting at the side drooling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 When people say mega-bucks - give me a ballpark figure? I'm probably going to say 300 + maybe? Its a fine art shaping CF like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 I'm probably going to say 300 + maybe? Its a fine art shaping CF like that. If someone can knock them up for £300 for me, then I'm in. 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManwithSupra Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 (edited) I'm going to say nearer £700 maybe more. The amount of work required to get a basic mould sorted and polished as a one off takes hours in itself. If you consider a carbon Fmic cover costs around £150 odd and that's for a real basic flat shape, when you start adding major 3d shapes to carbon and getting it to look good multiple moulds are needed.

I'd agree, between £700 - 1,000 is my guess. I remember seeing Carbon airboxes on the Honda S2000 & they were £1200!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 There's a dude up the road from me just bought an M3. It's got a carbon airbox in it he has a receipt for it for a grand. That's totally crazy money if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 you wud need to make the shape, build a mould around it, try it in fibreglass then carbon fibre. i might be up for trying this. once i finish my current fibreglass project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 u cud put a gel coat on the mould then carbon over it with resin. cf resin £££££ . rather than shape the carbon itself. an.idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 you cud get sheet metal cut up in stages to help make this design, do section every few inchs to give u gradual changes. group buy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Once the moulds are made running more copies off isn't going to be a problem. It's getting decent moulds made. Why can't you find out where the stuff in the photo came from and see if they will do more of them, or even sell the moulds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
