when you open the bonnet on a 6n.

the big black plastic part thats at the front that goes over the lights and stuff.

I'm wanting one of those made in carbon?

anyone know any decent yet cheap places?

cheers

carbon and cheap dont come hand in hand and gettin something like that that is off the shelf (and generally cheaper then bespoke) wont be cheap at all!

try here

be prepared to have your panties whipped down on price though!

speak to mv developments they have just found a nice carbon suplier no polo stuff listed on e38 yet but am sure he could get some

a mate of mine makes carbon fibre backs for corbeau/sparco seats and also does some bonnet boots and wings, was thinking of getting some custom bits made up for my ibiza....

as stated above not cheap tho, also if i wanted a bonnet for my car and they haven't done one before then i'd have to provide a template, ie a straight bonnet for them to make the pattern.

Ian Curley from Curley specialized mouldings?

carbon is particularly expensive at the moment aswell apparently.

Cheaper option... could be to get some carbon look film/adhesive. May look a bit shit but u can always rip it off if you dont like it.

search for performance trim on google. They are based down south east, but my ford forum just got a batch of mk1 carbon fibre bonnets made up for a good price

id love a carbon rocker cover for a Gt and a few other bits. sureley with 18000 polo users on here somebody has found a place that stocks carbon for mk3's? :)

carbon fibre rocker cover ??? Hmmmmmmm...........

carbon fibre rocker cover ??? Hmmmmmmm...........

lol big smoke..

cosmetic carbon just aint worth the money in my opinion, especially when most of it is glassfibre with only a single layer of carbon over the top! although its a different story when you make it for a living!

you'll pay a lot of money for pretty much anything carbon fibre!

carbon is gay and a waste of money unless it's vital...

i.e race car needing to lose a few pounds

its not really, it looks pretty trick and id do anything rather than polished bays like everyone else. Polished parts can cost a lot of money but they dont have a function as far as I'm aware!

i hate carbon fibre i have to work with it in work pain in the arse plus when it turns to dust you can get cancer from it

Polished parts can cost a lot of money but they dont have a function as far as I'm aware!

Less wind resistance? lol

it will look gay unless you run a carbon theme under the bay which will cost a lot of money,and it wont have any more function than polished bits would,its not guna be any kind of race car is it?

polished parts do not cost a lot of money,cost of equipment to polish and do it yourself...piece of piss dude

carbon is a waste of money,it would be cheaper to do that carbon cover stuff like az did on his dash board...there is a how to on edition38...

carbon looks gay imo!

just noticed your post,i didnt say it wasn't do-able, it is do-able, they make spaceships out of carbon fibre!

i meant good luck with paying the cost of having one made for a Mk3.....pointless imo

just looks cheap if its ona cheap 6n/106/corsa blaaaa

jeeez guys. i dont care what anyone thinks. i jsut asked where i can and if i can get some carbon fibre parts for my car. was this too much for you all lol?

alot of threads are going shitty like this so dont take it personally!

If you find a reputable firm that will make carbon parts, let me know. I want some for my project.
