Hey all, been on the forum now for around 3 weeks as i have bought a hdi. i am a composite laminator by trade and i am just getting set up at my new house to start laminating car parts in carbon fibre. Made lots of motorcycle parts in the last couple of years. would like to make some moulds for the 306. Had a look on ebay and there isnt much about so it could be a good market. Would anybody be interested in any carbon bits and what would u like to see? will start to make some moulds in the next few weeks if i get much interest? thanks
Sean

Can defo do a bonnet mate but would need to sort myself out a bench first and a big resin pot to infuse from. Don't do a lot of infusing so would be quite good to do a bonnet. Dry carbon is about 35quid psqm. There will be about 4 layers of cloth so won't be cheap but will look into it and see what I can do

I sure if you could do wings, bonnet, boot, door skins, then the hard core track guys would be interested.
Get onto GTi6owner too....they have more money to burn on track cars than us generally.
But if you do nothing else...get Lwilliams a freaking bonnet that does look like a flapping flag!

Do the mirror covers just pop off and are they on clips? Was thinking about making the mirror covers in carbon and replace the original covers! Just bond on the carbon ones. £80 on ebay, could make them cheaper than that! Spoiler is a good shout. If my oven us wide enough spoiler would defo be a good option. Probs just as well to skin the petrol cap. Would look good.
Yeh mate because the bonnet has a big surface area the beat option is to infuse dry carbon as you will gain a better finish throughout and u won't get any resin rich or dry spots. Cheers all
