woo I can justify getting new carbon parts

Postby d_dan » Fri Jun 06, 2008 2:10 pm

Ok guys am sick of the stone chips in my bonnet and polish getting stuck of them.

I was looking at getting the bonnet sanded down and then sprayied(good quality job)

and am looking at about 650 all in. labour etc.
but from trojan they are offering
    project F rear carbon bootlids,
    and oem style carbon bonnets,

working out at 540 euro for the two.

and carbon spoiler to finish off the look.

i recon it will look well.
anything i cant get done in carbon ill get sprayied white
(so colm youll get your idea of crap skirts on the car)

Don't bother with the Carbon spoiler - the bare ass look would suit your FTO.
You are going carbon I presume for weight reasons so no point adding the additional weight of a rear spoiler that would have no functional use.

It is still extorsion. Absoulute max it should be 300-350 for a top quality job.

with a black bonnet on a white car :smt088 there's no blending in of the paintwork to the wings, or even matching of colour to be done, this is a simple job and shouldn't cost any more than €250
