Tyler, how durable is the finish likely to be on the 'carbon' dipped RS grill?
I am very interested in one.

It's the exactly the same as the paint work on a car. 2k lacquer is used, if you do get stone chips this will only affect the lacquer not the carbon finish.
It will last forever if untouched.

Got something else
3.5 v6 roadster
Yeah I'll be here all this weekend, plus all day Thursday and Friday getting the show car done and a set of carbon wheels for someone.
Elaborate.
It's just a beesting one in black. I had one and the radio reception was pretty crap!Kinds of off topic.... But your aerial, what make/model is it, and does it give decent radio reception? Looks a lot nicer than the standard, and a lot nicer than most stubby aerials I see people have!
Nice demo car. Like really nice... shows off both your talents really well.

Thanks for the reply! You could no doubt do a cam cover then as well I'm assuming? (Not the plastic engine cover)
I was affraid that too much carbon on this car would look a bit..... well.... g@sh tbh, but im really liking the contrast Tyler. Good job
I may be looking for some carbon bullets in the future once ive had a few bits sprayed on the car. Is the price based on exchange or a new set supplied?

Thanks mate, remember this is a show car and not my personal car so obviously going to do as much as possible.
Based on your same set. You send me the part and I use your part and send back

I love this thread! The car is looking great, I really like the colour.
I hope those rear lights will get a quick refurb too, they're looking a little hazy

What's the turnaround time to do this mate? Would you need it fully degreased/blasted? Or do you do this as part of the job?

I'll give them a buff just for you.
All metal parts are acid stripped blasted and powder coated, all included within the price.
All done within a week

Sound! I'll get in touch with you when I've got it off the car and ready to be posted. :clap:
Got all these bits done yesterday/today
And I've just finished putting most of the car back together.
both sides done in Carbon
Bullets are carbon one side and silver carbon the other
Rear carbon bumper insert is now in
Silver carbon wing mirror on the drivers side, normal carbon on the passengers.
Interior door handles and speak grilles done.
and interior dash strips in place
And of course silverteks to keep everyone happy
Also got a new front number plate which I accidentally ordered with a border
Anyway, this is how she stands currently, took her out for a quick drive hence the rain drops on some of the pictures.
Note the front is lowered on sport lines but the back is currently standard. need to get round to that at some point lol

The wrap and the carbon dip is simply stunning! Wow!
What is the turn around on a set of 17inch wheels?

Thanks.
If you're referring to just a refurb powder coat then it's same day service.
If you're wanting them powered and carbon dipped then 2 days.
Colour is lovely and the 'carbon' compliments it well.
I'm glad you ordered the plate with a border, you can reorder one with the proper font now
I didn't want a border nor a different font, I blame Sym0n Mac

I'm liking this and I really done like carbon that much.
I could be interested in a set of interior grub handles

Would love to see what 182 wheels would look like dipped! Stunning work.

How much would you charge for refurbishing the wheels? I only recently got mine re-painted and they look crap already due to stone chips etc. I live some distance away but for one days turn around, I would quite happily make the drive.
You're in luck, I've just sold my 172 carbon wheels so I'll be doing these set of 182 wheels next weekend
We charge £230+VAT fully stripped and powdercoated, includes new valve and rebalance. If you were to drive down, we'll make yours a priority to reduce your waiting around time

That is a bloody good price for such a quick turnaround, I may have to give you a visit someday.
The carbon looks good too, anything else getting dipped? The center console?
