Mike C Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Would anyone be interested in the above? It could be bonded onto your existing roof skin purely for cosmetic purposes, or the old skin could be cut out and this be bonded on for functionality. Ideal for people wanting to save weight, lose their sunroof etc. Price depends on how many people are interested, but, say if we could get 10 people on here and I could get 10 people elsewhere, the price could be very good indeed. Even just with 10 people total the price could be pretty impressive to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamb Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) if it fit 5dr roof im game pending prices of course Edited March 16, 2009 by Lamb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 I'd need someone to confirm that, but I should think it would fit all. I'm aiming for a price of around £400 each for a plain skin. But that depends on how many people are interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sortedford Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Im pretty sure they are different between the 3 and 5 door mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 I could say for sure either way. The 5dr doesn't have those plastic strips at the back does it? I don't think that affects the way it fits though. If they are different, you could still try and get a 5dr group if there's enough interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 If we could get 10 people interested, the production costs for the mould could get wiped out completely, plus a 15% discount, which could mean mucho cheapness for such a hardcore Carlos Fandango mod! Would require a deposit before the mould is produced though. I'll learn more later today. Tez? Trig? Mike? Anyone fancy one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) Its a bad time for me Mike, Ive got a massive project coming up fast and I just couldnt do it now, cant justify spending the money yet. Edited March 16, 2009 by Trig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Mike- might be worth bartering with the fabrication firm (phil is it?) as the whole "need 10+ for no tooling charge" has to change in the current financial climate! It'd be difficult getting 10 people from the entire internet to buy one of these, let alone this site and PF.. Hustle them down!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 It's Mike Skinner @ Performance Trim I've been chatting to him again today and this is what we can get now. For 5 or more roof skins, the price is £395+VAT, that's it. If, however, we can get more, the price can be reduced by a further 10% Including myself I have 2 definites for a roof skin and a couple of "maybes" And anyone interested in Carbon Fibre bonnets: £495+vat. Fully carbon Road-Spec. (4 – 6kg) £395+vat. Standard Road-Spec (carbon fibre outer skin, fibreglass, glossy black inner skin). (5 – 7kg) £395+vat. Fully carbon Race-Spec. (honeycomb core to add strength and stiffness) (2 – 5kg) “Road spec” – means direct replacement, full replica inside and out, ready to bolt-on. “Race spec” means a reinforced outer skin, for use with bonnet pins (no inner frame structure). again that's based on 5 orders, and 10+ will see a further 10% decucted from the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minirotty Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) On SportingFords you can have either / any of above spec for £425 Moulds already made. also group buys are a B*stard and to get one done for a roof skin your gona have hard work ahead.

Mike C Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 I've got four definites and two maybes, no one here fancy it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScORTED Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 maybe... would need to be cheaper though - i'm interested, but being honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 I might be able to push it to 15% discount for 10+ Can't do better than that though really, it's silly cheap as it is to be honest. I've got 7 people confirmed for a roof skin so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
