Not sure on the cost of rear spoiler yet as it will be made in two halves and bonded together and not sure exatly how long it will take an how much material and how much o get laquered but I would estimate Around £250-300 ish hopefully less but shouldn't be more than that.

The tubo sills you will be doing, are they definitly going to be without pocket and speaker hole? Will they be matt or gloss? Would prefer matt as more in keeping with rest of interior?

I'm after a set of turbo sills matt finish (I assume you mean the section with the pocket is a seperate part and the sill does not include that part? So you still have a pocket) Would also be interested in small carbon rear view mirror (mirror backing obviously) And Elise style door mirror arms Cheers Doug

So who has a passenger turbo sill in VGC they would sell after putting these on? If not then I am going to have a turbo OS sill and an NA NS sill at this rate . . . Btw, anyone tried the CF binnacle cover yet? Would like pics of that and the centre console.

If you still need the passenger turbo sill I have one as I have fitted the carbon ones.

Hi, I might be interested in the NA glossy sills, depending on the price. Please let me know how much you want for them. Thanks, Matt

NA sills are £250 a pair and turbo £240 in either gloss or matt finish.
I currently have some matt turbo sills ready to go others need to be pre ordered.
Also as you are only in Nottingham you could collect or have a look before you buy i'm only up in Ripley

Cheers Scott chinky chinky

any more details about the turbo ones, do they have the square pocket (a 500ml coke bottle fits just perfect)

Nope he won't reply to my pm. I know he has read it though. I bought a set of tubby vents the inner grills didn't fit and generally wasn't happy with the quality. Fair play he made me another set which the grills fit however they have dents/bubbles and lines in them when the sun is on them. Like I said no reply to my pm after reading it thumbsdown

I know there was a problem with the first set of tubby vents, which he did correct (must of cost a lot to correct). Can't believe there are bubbles/lines in the carbon (other than the weave). Like I said all the bits I've had from him have been spot on thumbsup
