For the people that were interested in the carbon fibre arches... (pics of samples)
Turbo Mini Forums

...got the prices back. First they wanted over £250 a set! +shipping (which is $150!)

Managed to talk down the prices, if ordering 10 sets together.
Each set of four, including shipping and import tax from china £170.

They will come with the mounting holes all ready, uv-resistance (wont fade like the sm**ger stuff in the sun!) the weave will be perfect.





Here is a couple of photos of the samples they sent me and i cant fault them!

So, if anyone would be interested in a set, let me know! Im definately getting some! There will be 10 sets of these made, and i dont mind paying the money up front to order them. Will be £170 a set, or will go on ebay and in minimag!

Just let me know if your interested :)

The small samples are some of the other styles of carbon fibre they can make them from, including with gold in, red, blue... or relaly fine silver! Also they even do flexable carbon.

wow they look good , never new you could get so many different colors,
good job but tbh dont culey sell these for around the same price?not knocking it at all,but is it worth your time and risk? i mean china is pretty far away if you get knocked.BUT no other company offer difernent colors do they.

Do you have a link to the curley ones?
I dont think they are the same, they dont wrap arround the front panel or behind the rear valance. I think theyre more like miglia arches? Please let me know!

Ive found the curley ones, theyre miglia ones though.

You have to make the brackets yourself to fit them, and theyre £147+ vat (172.725 inc vat) and it also says there might be imperfections in them!

a good point to note that anything the chinese say is not necessarily what you will get.

dont want to sound like the eternal pesimist but they are along way away with your money if owt goes tits up.

your right ,i got them confused with miglia arches,where as your having grp 5's made which would be a first.

I'm still interested, but I would lie to see the quality of a finished set first.

Producing perfect flat sheets of CF is one thing, making perfect CF arches is another.

Have to wait and see.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

The plan is ill send them some money as a deposit, then ive asked them to make them, then take photos once they are all complete.

When i get that photo, ill send the rest of the money and they will send them over to the uk!
