Arches, doors, 16v bonnets, boots ,all of the above for classic minis , and not an American hummer, so they are actually quite small ,lol

Pillar gauge pod is a great idea. Radiator brackets, rockers cover, radiator cowl, a+ dizzy retainer, etc.. Class C 3rd Place Avon 2011 14.18 @101mph |

Headlight rings, switch panels, handbreak handles, dizzy splash guard. Life is always a matter of opinion and quite frankly, no ones opinion really matters. |

How about a switch panel, or the part that clamps down the gearstick gaiter, simple flatish parts. Heater duct blank plate. Wiper motor strap maybe? (Not sure if the properties of cf are up to that job) Bulkhead master cyl blank plate for the passenger side. Small under dash switch panel, front door pockets perhaps?

Exterior door handles would be great. Tooling would be complicated and will probably affect the final cost but I don't think many other people do them |

A 16v bonnet would be easy enough. I'm currently tooling up to make myself a bonnet with an air dam in. Doing it again with a bulge would be quite easy.

If you want to take a mould from my kad bonnet you can. Handles would be good as there's no one that has made lightweight handles before, I think you could sell a load. Edited by Chris Dillow on 21st Dec, 2013. |

plenum chambers might be a good sell. Don't forget the dissimilar corrosion properties of carbon if it's to have steel bolts going through. Something I had to think about with my rad bracket. BHP sells engines, but Torque wins races! |

just a heads up, but the bimmer heads don't seem to like having a plenum on them (for NA anyway), SC did one and it was shit so they abandoned it.
