Booked this up the other day, anyone else booked in.

 

[Chri5]

Anyone booked the 22nd? I might well be up for this

 

[Chri5]

Just booked in for the 22nd, Dom are you doing both?

 

[P17 TOO]

My car will have no bonnet at that point so even though I pointed it out originally I won't be going...

 

[Chri5]

No bonnet? Shame mate!

 

[P17 TOO]

Long story short bought a carbon one, lacquer peeled when aerocatches were fitted, I attacked it with a pressure washer and knife making it worse and now paying carbon place to sort it properly!

I'll be there next month though fingers crossed week starting 20th as long as something else don't give up :S

 

[Chri5]

Oh right, that's a bugger....lol sounds like me,try and sort it out but make it worse

Out of interest, is it a local carbon place fixing it?

 

[P17 TOO]

Well I couldn't have had it on my car looking the way it did so thought I'd give it a go!

Place that is sorting is called Lustre Coatings and they're down Potash Lane @ Hethel near Lotus. Had a look around their workshop/at some of the work they'd done and they look like they'll do a proper job sorting it

Problem with carbon is that most body shops won't touch it!

 

[dmallett]

I didnt think your bonnet was bad Phil, totally acceptable to my standards!

 

[P17 TOO]

Lol you saw it after I'd attacked it as well!

Ah did you speak to Jason by any chance?

The company I work for use Lustre Coatings for laquering carbon parts and my manager (who's worked for what I'd describe as 'motorsport royalty') says their work is some of the best he's ever seen. I've seen the results myself and, although I wouldn't really know any different, I'd say they were excellent too!

 

[Chri5]

Where do you work Canary? I only ask as I work with carbon fibre too and nearby!

 

[P17 TOO]

He was at Snetterton the day I visited in his Dax Rush so I spoke to second in command, guy called Victor. They're work did look rather nice and they're doing my bonnet for a decent price as well

 

[Canary172]

I work at Mussett Composites How about you?

Yeah I've heard they're pretty fair on price considering the quality of the work. And that bonnet is going to look good as new once it's finished! Will you have it back on the car for the April EoE meet?

 

[Chri5]

Ahhhh yeah, does Sandy still work there? I'm at cft in Wymondham

 

[P17 TOO]

Yeah should be as they said it will take about 2-3 days unless something unforeseen occurs but even then it should still be done. If it's not done I won't be at the meet...

 

[Canary172]

Ahhhh yeah, does Sandy still work there? I'm at cft in Wymondham

I don't know of a Sandy who works there, so I'm guessing not (I've only been there since August 2012). Do the names Darren, Roger or Matt ring any bells?

Ah yes I know CFT!

 

[Chri5]

Hmmm, he must have left then, I've not spoken to him for a while! he used to work @ CFT

I dont know anyone else who works there so those names mean nothing lol Do you work in the "laminatrix" lol?

Ah right I see!

I work in the laminatrix occasionally, but most of the time I'm helping to reverse engineer stuff, so using CAD, plenty of measuring tools etc!
