Right.. ive been a bit busy...
We all know these things are very hard to get hold of and with me being on the look out for sombody to do moulding for k-kustom on a permanent basis as there is such a need for some parts now.. Ive been let down again and again.. also some companies wanting such things as minimum orders of 10x and above etc..
This is not what suits us. I think there IS a demand for these but not huge waiting list.. more like a steady steam.
With this in mind weve got stuck in and started to fabricate these things ourselves.. Predominantly to reduce the weight of my Drag Almera to microscopic levels.. AND to enlarge to product range of the workshop..
With a little help from a person in the know ( Dave the canoe builder ).. Were rocking and rolling now, and ive been moulding pretty much anything I can get my hands on... Some side skirts in GEL can be seen on a few of the pics..
This is very tricky to achieve but with some practice and a few hundred in wasted materials.. We even Experimented with latex moulding and GRP on GRP.. Weve pretty much got it down now.
The Prices, Being honest here.. Are EXTREMELY over inflated for things like this.. 400 a bonnet in GRP is crazy.. Im looking to sell GRP bonnet skins for 150.. and full top and bottom GRP bonnets for 275 being a near enough direct fit..
With this a NEW avenue to our workshop Im trying to keep the prices as low as possible for the club..
These are only available here.
Available as of next week..
GRP 2-slat grill
and
GRP Open Grill( Lucino )
Supplied in Primer
Here are a few of the 2-Slat..
Its clear to see the details and shape are pretty much identical to the orignal.. We removed the thin vertical laites as can be seen.. for simplicity.. proving more cost and time effective.
The weight of this is a mere 194 grams in primer.. The Lucino type one is uber lightweight..
Im thinking around 50 each for these in primer delivered... thoughts?
Carbon fibre 2 slats and lucino style will be available.. Im making a 2-slat in carbon for myself but if sombody wants the Lucino style.. il happily make one.. obviously prices go up for this..
Now Bonnets..and other items
Ive got a K11 micra bonnet in Lay up now..Weve got 2x cars needing this at the moment.. This will be finished the beginning of this week..
Ill be on the Almera N15 bonnet middle week.. The moulds we are making for these items are GRP and CARBON Fibre compatible..
There are a few refinments to be made to these grills and alterations to the mounts will probably be changed are currently aluminium strips.. Id rather have a simpler GRP addition..
SO..
General thoughts on this and..
What are people looking for other than GRP bonnets as cheap as possible..?
