I'm interested in NA ones in Matt. Is it easy to drill into CF? I have a cig lighter mounted just below the drivers side pocket which I'd like to keep as I use it to charge my sat nav. Also interested in wing mirror covers, I've bought some before (can't remember who from - group buy on here) and I sent them back as they were a really bad fit. Any discount for combining?? PM me with details!! Ta.

What's postage cost on sills? You thought of doing a price for the whole kit of carbon bits if purchased in one go?

Just a very quick reply to all as im about to go on holiday. They can be done in matt. Techieboy yes that could be done but would probably be a one off mould so may work out expensive but I will pm you when I get back and talk about the options. dapimp yes we could cut a hole in no problem. I will be back next friday so leave me a message and i will get back as soon as i can. Cheers

I have OE NA and Turbo sills. I don't see why the NA sills would not fit the Turbo. You will need the little plastic bits that go on the ends of the dash though. They just pop in so easy to fit.

I love CF i'm addicted and only just seen this thread! I would be very interested in a set for my Turbo, and would probably be able to lend you my sills to make the mould. Let me know...... I would also like to repalce the instrument cluster shroud as well......

In fairness I'm in the market for loads of carbon fibre at the moment. Definitely want the CF wing mirror surrounds (in Gloss) Would love the sills for a Turbo, plus centre console, dash plates etc. Cheers Paul

Hi its not to hard but would defo need a good drill bit but if you wanted to send me pics/dimensions I could put a whole in it for you no probs as I have all the gear. We havent done a group buy on mirrors before but ours do fit (we bought a pair of standard mirrors and each cover is trimmed and tried before they go to the bodyshop for laquering)

We cant really do a better price than what is being offered as that is already discounted.

Cheers Scott

Would love a pair of these. Matt finish would be great. Would want the holes pre-drilled. How long would they take to make up? Regards GiGo

Hi GiGo, I am hoping to get a few sets done in the next few weeks. The holes will already be in them so they will fit straight on. Let me know if you want to meet and see the bits as you arent too far away are you? I'm in Derbyshire. Cheers scott

these are exactly what i am looking for but i really cant justify 250 notes at the minute on something that in essence is purely cosmetic.

You couldn't buy the carbon for that! Let alone cover mould costs and curing costs etc but you get what you pay for! It's not as cheap an easy stuff as fibreglass to produce.

If its pre preg stuff then it does cost a lot i agree. I personally didnt think that £250 was overly expensive tbh
