Someone is making a killing off them, as they are not even pure carbon fibre

Here we go again. It's common practice to lay up carbon with fibreglass to increase strength. I'm not sure why he is saying it reduces cost because a lot of the time fibreglass is just as expensive in it's plain form. Plus that's quite a reasonable price because did you stop to think how much time it takes to make a good quality mould and how much time it takes to lay up the materials and set the mould up to get a good quality cosmetic weave like that?

sellers reply:
quote: Dear andip111,
hi,
yes, i could make the rear cards, the only problem is that they fix on with those push pin things, so customers would have to take the brackets off their original rear cards and bond them onto the back of the carbon ones, i wasnt sure if people would be willing to do that.
i could make the door pockets allthough they would have to be made in two pieces,
i'm also looking into making the a,b,c pillars and possibly the parcel shelf and the headliner could even be made. i can make most things in carbon, but its all a matter of interest, if people want them then ill start making them,
best regards, gary

ive also sent him the link to this thread in the hopes of a group buy

I would buy a set but noting much carbon in my interior, won't go with leather as well as my alcantara etc.
Would look better in a rally slag or something!

2k for carbon fibre, not at all, if you find jenko's thread i got a quote from another company for a few hundred..
edit: found the link http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=379064

thanks for the interest in the door cards. Yes it's possible for us to produce you some contoured door cards for your corsa, but as you may expect its more expensive than flat panels. I'd need to have production moulds made in the shape of the original door cards, and then I'd be able to sell you a pair of carbon panels. The cost of this one-off moulding is £150 per side, and then £95 per side for each part. As you can see the initial costs are high, but if you can generate more interest in these then I'd be able to split the moulding costs, or even cover them myself if you can organise a 'group buy' of 10 or more sets.
I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.
best regards, Mike
group buy anyone...
so these ebays ones are cheap for a pair but i guess he already has the moulds
