Many of you will have seen my other post re. carbon fibre engine covers for the Mk2 172.
What are the top 3 items youd like made in carbon fibre for the Mk2 172? If I can get 5 people for any one part Ill do my best to get it made, and for a decent price!

wallisj - got your PM and I appreciate youd rather spend £175 on functional mods. However, Im sure we can (a) find 3 other takers and (b) if this is successful, get other parts made up.

It has to have been made in June 2002....you might find that if you bought the car in June it was actually made in the factory a month or two earlier. If you have TCS youll have the switch!

My mate is running the very same kit on his 1900 T3 powered Fiesta turbo (stripped out racer interior with a cage, etc) which was quite quick enough before NOS. Now, with +80bhp at the flick of a switch its bleedin mental, spins the wheels at the drop of a hat and spits flames everywhere. The SS...
