Carbon fibre wing mirror covers?

[nitrousnova]

does any one no where i can get a pair of carbon mirror covers from?
just picked up my new carbon bonnet and would really like some mirror covers to match.

[Plug]

will have to be custom made.
dont think anywhere sells them off the shelf

[Novasport]

I think Novacabrio on here is selling a set for PaulW, I'll try and find the thread

[Graeme]

I have some mate real carbon to be bonded over standard mirrors, not really keen to sell as being rare, but might be persuaded

[Novasport]

Looks like they have already gone...

[Graeme]

It was me that had them

[nitrousnova]

got any pics of them ?, what would it take for you to part with them!?
i bought some real carbon dtm style mirrors of a guy but i'm not happy with them as there not the best condition.

[Graeme]

These are them, they are a very thin cap that need to be bonded to the original cover (they are behind them in the image). They are in good condition but I'd say for a truly flawless finish they should be flatted back and relacquered.

OOOOWWWWWWW! very nice, i like :)


does anyone have any pics of a nova with f1 style mirrors on it?

[Nova_Tek]

That does actually looke quite nice. ome carbon fibre effect vinyl would suit them nice tbh. I'm usually not a fan of carbonfibre wannabe shizzle but this looks fairly good quality.

[Graeme]

Vinyl looks bad imo, it'd have to have joins/seams, these are the real thing

[Nova_Tek]

Sorry geeza when I said carbon fibre vinyl I meant the B pillars. Would match up nice with the mirrors, probably lol

[Plug]

iirc dave france (fearless) had some made didnt he?

[nitrousnova]

can't say i'm a lover of the vinyl either to chav tastic, gotta be the real thing.

Best place is to get them made.

I have had a few things done by Don Fulford. He used the origonal part and covers it in real carbon & laquers it. The origonal item is still behind so still fits like oem.

Nick and Sparkie have also used him, his work is excellent but a lot of money

I think you should stop teasing us with them and make a few sets

There might be a long wait - ask Martin Kelson - he's been waiting years !!!

[Plug]

[fearless]

Not for sale - sorry

[nitrousnova]

[L14MNP]

Dave, your FMD logo reminds me of Stonehenge.
This pleases me. :)

[fearless]

Still messing with the watermark program - the logo does'nt show up too well

I'm glad the stonehenge logo arouses you - Martin Kelson also stated the similarities to Stonehenge :)

[mayhem]

Nick and Sparkie have also used him, his work is excellent but a lot of money

but it's perfect. i've seen his car many times, and it's pure porn.

Whilst you're here, and we've already established your love of the pixel, is this the missus?

We need a group buy on some carbon fibre mirror covers.

We need a group buy on some carbon fibre mirror covers.

e-mailed don carbon about them, they said 80 quid plus postage and they need a set of covers as well.

You have to pay to ship them to holland and back plus pay via bank transfer which costs approx £20 too. By the time you've finished they will have cost you around £120. Ive used Don many times for my previous car and his work is excellent but it does come at a price. Now and again you see a few of them mirror cover sets come up on ebay so you may be best keeping an eye out on there. For some examples of his work take a look at my wip thread on the link below. It may also give you a heads up on the carbon bonnet you have. ;)

Your not joking Dave.

I recon i have been waiting now for stubby carbon mirrors from you, and this is no exageration................. 10 years!!! lol

[Mike]

I spied some stubby mirrors on eBay somewhere earlier (non carbon ones at that)

[Plug]

you did indeed lol

[Graeme]

I'd sell mine for £50 plus postage

[Nova_Tek]

e-mailed don carbon about them, they said 80 quid plus postage and they need a set of covers as well.

£80 on a group buy? It's a tad steep... almost vertical! I'd expect that price when bought individually. Such a shame they're not a tad cheaper.

[davidfox280585]

i know where there is a set on mirrors aswell

[nitrousnova]

no sorry this isn't a group buy just a price he gave me.

[Nova_Tek]

Oh right, so what if we asked him about a group buy with a minimum number of people? What would the discoutn be to us?

I'm pretty sure we could get a good amount of people.
