£40. You must be having a bobble hat and scarf. They would only cost about £5 in materials.

I'm paying £13 per sq.m for Carbon at the minute, you would get 3/4 sets out of that; maybe more! so £4.00 each max in materials, factor in time at say 1hr (being generous) plus a mark up £25.00 would be fair.

However it's supply & demand and no-one else makes them so £40 isn't unreasonable [Might make a couple myself ]

Carbon is the most redundant compound on the planet. It is cheap, it's just that not many people can lay it up properly and it takes a lot of skill to use. But once you know what you are doing, jobs a good'un.

However to re-iterate - as no-one else is making these and there seems to be a demand - I'd say £40 is fair

I think people think Carbon cloth is expensive as a bonnet would cost you £300+, so everything must be expensive.

Still, I think it's a fair price

Not slating them Robin but I can't see much of a market for them at that price.

25 so you can say you have a carbon fibre gear gater but its not 40 quids worth of showing off.
