Ello Everyone,

Just curios if anyone would be intrested in some carbon fibre boots & maybe bonets.

I'm going to see a bloke on Friday about building me a carbon fibre boot lid.

I will be looking at paying about $600 to get one made. (Thats a rough quote)

Just wondering if anyone else would be intrested & Maybe I'll get a few made up for everyone.

Well If you are only going to Pin them they will be cheaper as you wont need all the supports etc...

But to answer the question Yes they can use original pick up points.

I'll get a quote on Friday.

I'll try the guy from Sweet as well & try & find the best price for everyone.

Im guessing the carbon fibre boot will be replacing that nicely dented one. A bit out of my price range but id be interested to see how they turn out.

Hey! If you could ask this guy if he would do more copies at less cost per bonet i would be really interested.
Is it for a clubman or roundnose?
Thanks
