Does anyone make carbon door cards? Im going to get a quote of that place in china to make some up, im not even going to look for smudger site because i saw some arches he did after a year and they had all faded, the carbon from this place in china is uv protected.

Are mk1 door cards the same size as others? And would people mind recieveing them blank, with no holes drilled?

thanks
james

For me if they were ready made with all holes and priced low enough i'd snap a pair off your hands.

Also, I have seen carbon made with a colour weaved into it, could this be an option maybe?

yeah can come with colour in - blue - red - gold, all of them, the blue looks especially nice - the gold one is bling!

Yes they could come pre-drilled no problem, maybe if they came with the hole for the winder, but not the handle because isnt it different in different minis?

I'm definately interested in a pair but without the window winder hole. I was planning or ordering a pair from the chap on ebay, as he's the cheapest I found todate including buying a 1m x 1m sheet and cutting it to size.

That ebay link. Would you hand that much cash over for something you havent seen a picture of, never mind in person?

Didnt get the arches done, like people said it was too much of a risk without seeing them, at least with door cards they cant really go wrong, its just a flat thing!

The carbon weezle stuff is good, ive seen the bumpers in the flesh they were spot on.
