Carbon Goodies Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 Hi guys, as per my ZEP Style bonnet vent thread, I am also currently developing a hump for the bonnet so the bonnet will look like a Gi or Glanza S bonnet. These will again be made from the same full pre preg 2x2 twill weave carbon as the ZEP style vents. Again I am aiming for these to be a bolt on application so it's easy to fit and remove if you so desire.The price will be the same as the ZEP style ones. Again I am aiming for £160 delivered within the UK mainland but development isn't finished yet so that is not 100%.Here is what they will do but obviously they will be in carbon:Again please register your interest below.CheersRick Quote
Carbon Goodies Posted November 17, 2012 Author Posted November 17, 2012 Again I'll post some photos of some of the products that this manufacturer produces so you can see the quality. This is a full pre preg 2x2 twill weave carbon with no fibreglass involved. Quote
pig666eon Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 i have a jam blanking scoop there dude that i might sell, its the same as what you are doing let me know if it could be needed cheers Quote
Carbon Goodies Posted November 17, 2012 Author Posted November 17, 2012 We are developing this using the one we have for the ZEP style vent. All we will need to do is make a copy using the new mould in fibreglass and then take the vent off and smooth it out, then make a new mould from that.Do you have any photos of the JAM one fitted? Quote
pig666eon Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 no none of it fitted its sitting up at a friends house just need to collect it, i have fitted it before fits perfect but as said you might be better making one from the one you have already and the techniques ect rather than starting from scratch again Quote
lew777 Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 im liking this will await for pictures , i want a carbon gi bonnet but i think this will be the closet il get to it Quote
Broony Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 i wish carbon would go with silver i have the jam scoop blank too Quote
Carbon Goodies Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 i wish carbon would go with silver i have the jam scoop blank tooIt goes with silver fantastically well.Check out some of the silver Evo's with lots of carbon over on the MLR. They look great with it. Quote
micky boy Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 I've just said the same to him on Facebook Rick looks awesome on sliver i think Quote
Carbon Goodies Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 im a fussy twat though LOL!!!Fussy or not, I'm confident you would love the look of it when fitted. Quote
Fro Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Jeeez, about time someone done a blank in this style, kudos! Will it be available in carbon only? Quote
Carbon Goodies Posted November 21, 2012 Author Posted November 21, 2012 Carbon is all I'm planning for now but I'll assess it at a later date. Quote
Carbon Goodies Posted November 21, 2012 Author Posted November 21, 2012 when will they be ready ?I'm not sure yet. They have gone for moulding so I'm waiting on the manufacturer to get back to me. Quote
Carbon Goodies Posted December 22, 2012 Author Posted December 22, 2012 The reverse scoop mould is ready to go but I'm having issues getting my hands on a bonnet so we can check the fitment of each one before they go out to customers.Once I get a bonnet we can make a glass master and then rework the reverse scoop to make the hump, then make a mould for the hump. Quote
Carbon Goodies Posted February 15, 2013 Author Posted February 15, 2013 These still going ahead rick? Yes they will be going ahead soon. I'll get the manufacturer on with it. The reverse bonnet vents are now ready and are available for sale though. Quote
ro55ifumi Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) Any news on these Rick? ?John Edited June 29, 2013 by ro55ifumi Quote
Carbon Goodies Posted June 29, 2013 Author Posted June 29, 2013 Any news on these Rick? ?John Hi John, frustratingly not. My manufacturer has a bonnet now and everything needed to get these moulded but they are very busy and haven't found the time to do any moulding. I do keep pushing this but I am at their mercy at the minute I'm afraid. Quote
lew777 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Give them a kick up the arse mate really want one of these. Cant you tell Quote
marble Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Again I'll post some photos of some of the products that this manufacturer produces so you can see the quality. This is a full pre preg 2x2 twill weave carbon with no fibreglass involved. I like this A LOT! Quote
