ripped_fear Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Evening all. I have been planning on making myself a Exhaust surround for a while now, and thanks to Ash on here I now have the bumper piece I need to get cracking. After seeing a wanted thread with a few people expressing interest about such an item, I though I would approach the mods on doing a one off group buy of around 10 maybe a little more. I have been given the go ahead, hence why I'm posting this thread now. The item The exhaust surround itself will be a fibreglass exhaust surround, wrapped in a Carbon fibre material and hopefully a nice think layer of clear coat/ resin to give it a bit of depth. I'm hoping it will be able to use the bumper fitting bolt, so it will be able to be bolted on using the same OEM fitting point, but if this turns out to not be realistic then it will simply need to be stuck/bonded on. Price The price i'm thinking will be around £40-£55 per item posted. This price will cover the cost of the following -fibreglass, -filler, -clear coat, -carbon wrap, -postage and packing, and a small amount for my time. Pictures I have enclosed a picture of the rough shape I'm thinking of doing it- Time Frame I have only just started making number one for myself so if there is enough interest I should be able to get the group buy on these going in around about one months time. To express interest So if anyone would be interested in one of these please reply in this thread saying so, and please feel free to ask any question you feel you need answered. I would also like to say please DO NOT PM me asking for me to make you one before this, as I will not be doing any more than what I make for this GB as that would require me to be a hobbyist and I do not intend to go against any forum rules. Thanks Jake EDIT Some new pictures. First attempt progress- See Page 4 Edited March 16, 2012 by ripped_fear (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dearer than your price and I couldn't quite get the fit tight enough to bond it to my satisfaction. So yours looks great value. Good luck mate.

Lude Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 How do they respond to the heat from the exhaust? I have a white car and it does get a little sutty/black around that area. Wipes clean but does get dirt and hot that area just wondering are they heat resistant etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
