Re: NEW THREAD Carbon fibre Border Wings
Not as nice obviously. It's the vents above the arch on the borders I really like.
Having said that I'm still interested. What is cost? lead time? availability? fit quality? etc.?
Re: NEW THREAD Carbon fibre Border Wings
becuase there fibreglass trimming can be done if required to ensure a perfect fitment where as with carbon fibre the fitment is a major importance due to not being able to trim without it looking rubbish.
Dont know what fitment is like am currently asking compnay to show the item fully fitted etc...
Cost is going to be around 160 + postage.. If we get enough people in ideally this can be brought down to 155 delivered or something.
Im think these are way cheaper and are available immediatly maybe a few weeks wait where as the border carbon fibre thing i was trying to organise is taking forever and i need a pair or replacement wings asap as car is going back on road soon.

cool well assuming we can get some pics of them fitted I'll have a set for £160.
Re: NEW THREAD Carbon fibre Border Wings
actually one thought, where does the side repeater go if you've got a UK or rev4+ car?
Re: NEW THREAD Carbon fibre Border Wings
wherever you would like it to go..
Just drill a hole somewhere? I was going for some diffrretn style indicators or toblerones as i prefer them anyway tbh.
Cheers

Re: NEW THREAD Carbon fibre Border Wings
managed to get replikit down to 150 on a group buy of 5+
Re: NEW THREAD Carbon fibre Border Wings
oh just realised its 150 for a pir from there website sod it all buy seperatly then
Re: NEW THREAD Carbon fibre Border Wings
I picked a set up from Replikit immediately . Good fit, only needed the bolt holes elongated. However for those that like the border style my wings are on their way to Dave at Neos Design. He plans to modify them a bit (most likely vents over the arch or similar) then take moulds . I can vouch for the quality finish of Dave's products. I have a set of his skirts and they are outstanding. It might be worth setting up a group buy with him. I wouldn't go to anyone else now!!
Here are pics of my original fit..............

Re: NEW THREAD Carbon fibre Border Wings
like the idea of that.
how long do you think it will take neo to complete these modified ones?
Like them alot but agree with vents on top / bit like border vents would look even better / great

Re: NEW THREAD Carbon fibre Border Wings
Dave said it would take about a week to get this done. Although it may be longer with the modifications and the fact he's painting the wings for me ready for fitting . I've PM'd him and pointed him to this thread so hopefully we can get an update from him today . He'll be receiving the wings tomorrow morning so we're looking at next weekend before the first pair are complete .
I've sent some pics to Dave on possibilities for the vents. Maybe if we get some feedback on these that will determine the final design .
If anyone else wants to pitch in with an idea, it wouldn't hurt . But It's Dave's final decision !

Re: NEW THREAD Carbon fibre Border Wings
No idea of price yet, due to the fact I'm supplying the originals to him I have a different deal, but he isn't expensive and his quality is worth every penny !!
I suppose it will not be clear until he's finished the first set .
And I have to agree I like the ones I modified to have 3 vents .

Re: NEW THREAD Carbon fibre Border Wings
i should have never looked at this thread!
Re: NEW THREAD Carbon fibre Border Wings
dave you have PM.
BTW - my ideal wings would have the smaller vents over the arch like the border ones but no vents behind the wheel. Finally they'd have holes cut for the UK/rev4+ side repeater.
