Flat_Steve Posted February 14, 2002 Author Share Posted February 14, 2002 Well Madam in my case, but having said that I´ll call her anything she wants! Sabre didn´t get back to me today, I´ll phone them tomorrow I reckon. (BTW Ian I like the little vents you put on the rear arches, they look cool ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sortedford Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 I liked em aswell mate, there just the ones off the front rotated round (and made a bit smaller) Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flat_Steve Posted February 14, 2002 Author Share Posted February 14, 2002 Ok got a reply from Sabre Autostyling on this subject today, here´s what they said: We have had a look at the pics and want to go ahead with it, the way in which it will have to be done is, we will need your car to build the kit on then the price of building it would be £4500 we will pay £600 from this, the kit will cost you £3900 all in, after the kit moulds have been made we will then give you £100 for each kit we sell up to the amount of £2000 - 20 kits. Your kit will then have cost £1900.The kit will be slightly different from the kits pictured! i´m sure you will agree with the concept drawings i have done.The kit will consist of:4x flared arches , 2x large vented side skirts , aggressive front bumper , rear bumper , roof vent , bonnet , rear spoiler.Please contact us if you are interested. I´m not sure what to make of this... Haven´t heard of anything quite like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissyboy Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 well its a gamble. if they sell 20 you´re ok. but then you wont be original. there will be 20 other cars like yours around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat_Steve Posted February 15, 2002 Author Share Posted February 15, 2002 No, I was looking for an attachment but there wasn´t any. I´ve emailed them asking if they can send these drawings to me. Interesting point about the CF arches.... Hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappy Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 Whats CF? Sounds like a reasonable deal to me.. I´m fairly sure that they will sell 20 kits fairly easily. You may be able to get them down a bit with a little haggeling. Amit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cappy Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 yeah.. How have you accquired the skill/resources to make your own CF arches? I am quite interested in making my own arches? I have been using fibreglass in ice installs for ages, but never tried making my own body kit. Amit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escort GTI Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 Cappy what is the chance of you making me a boot install for my Escort GTi?Also how much would I be looking at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sortedford Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 I am doing a course on makgin moulds and carbon fibre/ carbon kelvar things Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappy Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 Ian, Where are you doing the course..? I am quite interested in that sort of stuff.. would love to give it a go. Escort Gti.. I dont do it as a profession.. but as a hobby. The problems with me doing your boot build are as follows.. Where I am currently staying, I dont have a useable garage to work in. Since I work full time, I would only be able to work on it at weekends so would need your car for a few weekends. As for cost, it depeneds what you wanted.. a simple box.. probably £50-60.. A full on sculptured fibre glass install proably about £500. Have a look at http://drive.to/ice-cars to see my current boot install. I have different front speakers now so the front end looks a bit different. Amit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
