Carbon fibre thumb grip

[172Ben]

Had this waiting for me when i got back

Just one, as a test. Will be fitting tommorow to trial run it

 

[m0ssy]

Looks sexy. Where from and how much?

 

[Tigger]

Oh may I be the first to say I like it

EDIT
Dam too late!

 

[drummie]

Oooo very nice!

 

[172Ben]

I will report back once it been fitted for a few days to confirm its going to hold. There is just enough flex in it, but it still feels strong

 

[kie1an]

looks nice ..

 

[Ryan218]

nicee

 

[Hazza]

Looks great! I'll be ordering a set if the price is right!

 

[J4mes]

that would be awesome if it works and is available to buy as one of mine spilt yesterday

 

[cat171]

I like !

 

[Aluco]

£££?!?

 

[clairemae]

ohh i like

 

[172Ben]

£££?!?

Not sure yet, i will have a chat with the guy who did it for me, just want to make sure it works first before getting everyones hopes up.

But it feels sturdy, alot better than the standard grip anyway.

 

[Shotgunsjay]

nice!

 

[ChrisD172]

How do the standard grips come off? Are they easily replacable?

Very intrested in a set of these!

Just rip them off, they're only stuck down by glue!

 

[stooby]

[Tigger]

:lolup:

So true :dead:

 

[wiley]

looks ace
wiley

 

[VeinAST]

Spot on that is! Obviously the lacquer will ensure a lack of wear

 

[Matt.J]

Looks mint.I've got no experience at all using carbon fibre but it would be great to be able to make a set of them up.

Anyway, as said already, I'd definately want to buy some if you can get 'hold' of a few

 

[VeinAST]

It's the standard thumbgrips covered in cabron fibre film with resin as the hold and then lacquered over.

Really smart imo

 

[Firas]

just wondering mate did the guy make them from scratch or did you give him your thumb grip off your steering wheel and then got him to cover them in carbon fibre film?

 

[Sean B]

Great job lads, mass preduction i think.
well done

 

[Timmay]

cool!

+1. Get these into 'production'.

 

[Ali]

oooo...V nice!

 

[Christopher]

Awesome!

I'll have a set too when they're ready!

Group buy, anyone?!

 

[Seedy172]

Defo up for a group buy on this... LOVELY!!

 

[-J-]

Looks good, Its the final part I need to get my steering wheel re-trimmed.

 

[my172]

These look very nice!!

Hell yeah!

 

[Englebert]

Looks cool.. think you'd need a few other interior CF bits for them to not look out of place though. Shiney new CF will also show up any other dodgy bits of interior!

I'd agree with that

 

[VeinAST]

I wouldnt mind getting the dash strips done to match the thumbgrips tbh.

Tony's gonna be mega rich

 

[Craig]

look cool

I Neeeeed these to go with the rest of my bits -

 

[172Ben]

We shall see if it holds after a few days of driving

 

[tonyt]

yeah see how it goes ben, also i THINK i may be getting somewhere with your other one, fingers crossed...

these are not covered in carbon film by the way guys, its real carbon fibre fabric, then thinly resined to keep the flexibility needed...

obviously the thumbgrips need to be fixed first before any carbon can go on, which is the time consuming bit...

but so far so good, see what ben reports, hopefully they'll perform ok..
