All parts will be vacuum formed with quality being the highest priority. At this point in time I will be using a 204 gram 2x2 weave cloth.Fire away.....(B series) Rad closure panelBattery side Air boxes4" intake Tubes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be using resin infusion, but I have access to whatever you want or need. :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The facia panel would be relatively easy to make. Cutting the slots for the button on a high series would be the challenge... I'm game to give it a go....Console ?? Interesting!!! I will source one from a wrecker and assess the complexity.Door inserts? Are you referring to the spears? Or the sections in the handles?

Bonnet, boot ect.... what the budget?Also if you want make 2 of everything and I test the seconds for you for free. :DTail shaft is a bit out of my capability, as it is a totally different process and requires specialised machinery.Guards, bonnets, skirts, spoilers etc. can be done relatively easily and is on my ajenda. I will also look further into lip spoilers as I get time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larger holes to clear AN breather fittings would also be good.What size fitting are you thinking of using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnz Member 3,047 Member For: 10y 5m Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 02/11/15 02:40 AM Share Posted 02/11/15 02:40 AM (edited) Let me know if you want a g6e lip spoiler to make a mould of or something for anybody that may want one, mine is off atm and they are impossible to get off without ruining the boot. Once it goes on my new boot it wont be coming off again...Pics of old boot(which already had accident damage)Same amount of sika that holds a bloody windscreen in....

I saw another thread somewhere where they requested that the tongues be extended. Would you want the same modification?Battery side air box would be relatively easy also. I will however need some pics of a another aftermarket setup, so that I can see what other components are in the area. The only problem that I can foresee, would be sourcing a silicon hose like the Process West unit. ... Not impossible, and may be on the cards....4' inatke tubes.... I was looking into these myself, for my own car. My mate (Supplier) told me that the carbon sock is ridiculously priced. For this reason, I think it will not be practical.
