Wouldn't it make more sense to get your existing ones wrapped in Carbon effect film? £50 max I would think.

I have it as a PDF attachment to an e-mail. If you PM me your e-mail address, I should be able to forward it to you.

Like the look of the rear diffuser and front splitter. They'll go very nicely on my car...

Have the pricelist now, thanks Mel!

I looked at some of their stuff and having come from the marine industry and being involved with Carbon fibre i feel the are way over priced! also all their items are shipped from the US bumping up the price further more.

I know i come across negative and i know we have expensive cars but it doesn't justify charging £600 for some mirror covers that would cost max £200 to make.

I have been toying with having some made if anyone is interested i will get a price for a batch of 10 pairs.

I would be interested in that. However, the 2010 model year is a differant mirror I believe?

They'd likely cost 6,500GBP for 2010 model mirrors

Yep they are but if could i can get a pair of covers to take a mold from he could do them.

Having just looked at the price list the mirrors are on an exchange for your old covers, so it look like they just lay carbon on a STD cover, there for no weight saving (not that it would make a massive difference)

and that area of film would be on a long lead time

The carbon fibre tread plates look nice though. And I do like the carbon fibre side strakes. Might put them on my Christmas list. Anyone know the prices?

Yep, Adam2S posted the full price list; I like them too but not at that cost!

Maybe a silly question...but does anyone know where I can get the part that joins the wing mirror to the body of the car in carbon fibre?

Cheers, Richard
