Hey folks - just noticed that I seem to have a bad scuff on the bonnet of my Vette, so I thought I'd take advantage of it, and see about replacing the bonnet with the chav's favorite - carbon fibre.

Anyway, I found this one on e-Bay, but they don't ship to the UK...



Quite like that, actually. So, with that in mind, I'd like to explore the possibility of getting something similar made in the UK. Anyone know of any carbon-fibre custom panel manufacturers?

Thanks, in advance!

I've just put a Specter Werkes fibreglass one on my Z06. It cost $1295 plus $895 shipping plus £215 duty plus paint plus spraying plus, plus, plus.......

Fit is good and it looks the dog's wotsits but an expensive excercise.

I nearly went for the Corvette Racer Bodies version - they do it in Carbon at $1755:

I doubt if anyone in the UK could make it for less but if anyone can, then try Roger at RD Developments on 01953 884287. They made my wing and the workmanship is outstanding. They do race bodies etc
