Carbon fibre MK4 bits ?

[kriso]

Performance Trim told me they would make a batch of mk4 bonnets if 10 or more people were interested...

 

[T. Spark]

At what cost? and what weight difference?

At what cost? and what weight difference?

Around £395. Not sure about weight difference, but would probably be significant as they don't make CF parts just to look good

it was lite tuned that made ours for us for the mk3 group but..
markie sounds like ur making a copy of my old one!!

as u can see the lite tuned one fit and looked the part.. think they were more than 400 quid though more around 500 ish..
but something to consider also

 

[Markie68]

that looks awesome mate i hadnt seen that before but ye i would like mine lookin like that
hopefuly by next year it will look nearer to that

i thought 400 was a little cheap

 

[carlisle pete]

yer sure that one was around 500ish... that was my baby.. built it from scratch to ihi'd mag featured one.. cried when i sold it.. then had the 350z for 4 months n missed my vag's so ended up buying rash's off him!! in process of saving again for more engine parts... pistons, rods, valves all coming after xmas i think.. then onto over 400+ bhp's!! lol

 

[Markie68]

sounds like a plan mate ill keep a look out rash put lots of wrk into tht ibiza
n e way back on topic if a carbon fibre bonnet was gonna be made i mite have 1

 

[carlisle pete]

yer sorry... count me in... always partial but a bit of weight saving!!

Here's a bit more info on the availability of carbon fibre bonnets for mk4 Ibizas. There are 2 grades:

Fully carbon fibre (CF weave on both sides, inside and out) - £495 +vat
Standard (CF outer skin with gloss black fibre glass inner frame) - £395 +vat

Both supplied ready to bolt on using original hinges and latches. I'm told there would need to be an order of 5 or more for this price. Weight saving is from a typical steel bonnet of 14kg down to 4-5kg of carbon fibre.

I'm not sure if I want one or not yet, but I know others might

 

[Mr.SeZ]

i might b up 4 of these depending how far into the new year it is.

 

[Markie68]

sounds interesting
where was this from?

Thanks for the info mate However one question, what weight difference is between the Fully & Standard? Just looking at the price difference and wondering

 

[carlisle pete]

dare say u can count me in for one...

 

[kriso]

This is from Performance Trim. I'll find out about the difference between 'full' and 'standard' but suspect its worth getting the full one if any

I like this quote from their site:

Q) Can you paint or stick-on something to give the carbon fibre weave effect?
No. Please don't waste our time, we're busy making parts for much faster cars.

 

[T. Spark]

Classic I dont want thing for anything other than performance gain.

 

[kriso]

Fully carbon is about 20% lighter than standard
