carbon headlamp surrounds and turn signal covers

[bren]

ive spoken to joe about some parts i want for my bug and thought id also post on here to see if others would want the same parts on their rides.. im after H4 (late style) single screw headlamp surrounds... would look rad on a late 'looker IMO.. im also after some euro spec turn signal covers in c/f .. the wingtop kind (fender top!)

so who else would want them? the more interest, the more chance of having them made!!

[Alex]

Hmmm some lamp rings for the pre 67 and later style headlights would be cool.

Great idea.

I will take a set of the early style headlight rings if they will be available for sure.

Joe.....would you need originals to make a mold for that?

Late style headlight rims with single hole. Put me down for a set :D

Sam C

[bren]

cool.. thats two then.. any more for any more?

[kohi30]

put me down for a set of the headlight rings. how about carbon fiber fender guards?:

[69_Dreamz]

Im with kohi30 on that one about the fender guards. I say a Remmele Byg (excuse the spelling if incorrect) with them and it look great!

[AlphaC]

I could use a set of carbon headlight rims too :cool:

[kVinyl]

I'd be interested in both the wing-top indicator housing and the headlamp surround - good idea!:)

[69_Dreamz]

How well does carbon fiber hold up to the outside elements? I mean does it crack or discolor from being in the sun? Is it affected by salt air or humidity?

[bren]

hell yeah! stone guards for the rear "fenders" would be way cool too!! thats a 'must-have' on my bug!! FYI the remmele cars you see dont actually have stick on stone guards, they just leave that section of the carbon "fenders" unpainted...

[Carbon Joe]

OK I'll do them, this weekend I'll get the parts together and start working on the molds. This the type of response I need if people want me to make special parts, if I know more then three or four people want something made I'll make it. A set would look nice on my car to, also stone guards are in the works.
Thanks,

[Carbon Joe]

69_Dreamz,
Carbon fiber holds very well to the elements if it's made right, I use a UV resistant resin in my parts. Once the parts are cured water, salt, oil or just about any other chemical will not harm the part.

[Sandeep]

Put me down for a set of early trim rings !

Sandeep

[RotoGhia]

Bren, Samcat, I'd be interested in some later single screw ones too. At least then the frieght costs could be spilt 3 ways to good ol' england :D

[Angelo Amato]

Just wondering what else he does - may be tempted for a bulk order... Type 3 bits mind !!

[Carbon Joe]

Until my sites up, I have a folder on yahoo if you want to see some of my parts

Dependant on cost (obviously!) I'm interested in carbon fibre sloping headlamp rings. Maybe one more to share shipping to the UK!
Aren't there different types of rims? Didn't the adjuster screw holes move? :confused:

I'd buy them also. The late style ones, that is.

[57mutant]

Like Alex, I'd also be interested in a pair that would fit my '57, which I'm converting to H4 lighting.

[Andy]

I have just had a look at the pictures, I like the look of the filters, as I will be running CB Performance filters, could I order just the tops?

Also, how will the stone guards be fixed to the wing?

[Carbon Joe]

Yes you can order just the tops, the stone guards will be held in place with adhesive and the bolt that goes from the fender (wing) to the running board.

[Andy]

Can you put me down for some headlight surrounds.

I would also like to order some running boards, how do I go about doing this?
