    Whoo! time to get excited at Kam HQ :d
    We have arranged a date in mid June to get the moulds made of a mk2 bonnet and bootlid so we can produce lightweight carbon panels :d
    Costs have been discussed and we are happy with them so its 100% going ahead!

    We will be able to produce two versions, one cheap version that needs painting and one with the carbon weave showing to add bling to your trackcar.

    are they just standard bonnets with space for the grill?

    they will be replacement boots with the numberplate recess. The plan may be to mould the numberplate light plastic as a separate carbon piece. The bonnet will be standard but am thinking of leaving the grill part out so the intake is wider and smoothing over the top hump where the top of the Citroen logo ends.

    There are going to be a number of different variants so exact prices are not set in stone though certainly a gel coat bonnet will be significantly cheaper and a lot lighter than any currently on the market we will also do a carbon/kevlar version too We will announce prices when we are ready to sell some in about a months time.

    initially they will be made to order as there will be a few versions depending on whether you want bonnet pins, hinges etc etc Then once we have an idea of the market then we may start stocking them

    well we suffered a setback. We thought we would be clever and buy a brand new bonnet from a trader on ebay so we would not have to worry about stone chips or small dents.

    We didnt get a mint bonnet, what we got was this





    I have requested a replacement or a refund so will see what the seller says. Luckily i paid through paypal so we have some comeback :d

    shame really, lets hope the boot fairs better

    i think its definitely down to the handling by the couriers which is a shame. The bonnet was well wrapped with cardboard and bubble wrap but this was not enough to protect it from more serious treatment like dropping it on its edges or similar

    that is shocking, do you think you'll get an exchange as it was probably the couriers fault, not the sellers

    I've asked for an exchange or a refund as its pretty useless for making a mould out of. He can then make a claim against the courier if he wants to.

    have you already or doing a mould for a mk1 bonnet?
    I have heard that these bonnets fly open when driving, what is the chances of this happening?

    they're not doing a MK1 bonnet at the moment,

    if the bonnet is secured properly then it wont fly off, this is down to the buyer.

    not off completly but as they are so light they flex & come open (like it would if u opened it to look at the engine) and hit the windscreen.

    I'm not being funny scott but your don't have a carbon bonnet on your car

    Mine is secured by 2 sparco bonnet pins and the safety catch (original citroen one without the spring) and when you hit speeds off 80/90 the air gets under the bonnet causing it to flap around like a prositutes fanny lips. There is nothing you can really do about,

    Also Kam, are you going to re-inforce the carbon with a backing plate so you can lock it down using the original citroen fittings.. or are you just going to expect people to use bonnet pins. Because of the curve in the bonnet the carbon needs re-inforcing underneath so you can get enough strength to push it down onto the locking mechanism. Mines re-inforced and it still flexes like a bitch when you push it.. without that i can't see anyone getting it onto the latch.

    currently we will start off with the mk2 but if demand is good we will develop the mk1 shortly

    Basically we are going to offer a lot of options. You will get a choice of materials, also all bonnets will come with some strenthening to help stop any flapping, but we will see if its feasable to make a mould out of the original frame and have a catch so people can use the bonnet latch and lift arms at the back - though our main priority is for the trackday market theres no harm in making sure we can supply to other markets - all bonnets will be made to exact customer specs anyway so its no hassle.

    Personally I would use bonnet pins.

    The good news today is that I picked up an original bonnet from Citroen today. Came absolutely mint! and actually well packaged and protected

    So the plan for the carbon bonnet is to have the wider gap without the plastic grill but remove the small bump where its bigger for the badge area.

    This should give a smooth but aggressive look. I dont think they look nice with the dimma grill smoothed in.....

    Havent been able to get a decent bootlid yet so am going ahead with the bonnet until I find the right bootlid

    Any idea of rough price on these? how would you explain this to the insurance company, as the bonnet would act as a crumple zone on a car, helping in a crash, carbon fibre isn't so strong with a brick wall/tree/car wedged into it.

    not totally sure on prices, until I sit down and discuss every option with my composite wizard, but it won't be long now :d

    The benefit of the partern part bonnet is it can now donor its inner frame for a mould as the company have told me they are not going to collect it and I can scrap it - perfect lol

    true spoox do do carbon but I'm not that impressed by the quality of their products. Rush we are not yet planning to make the 106 parts until we have recovered most of our costs from the saxo parts and a 205 automatic bonnet we are getting made also. Its one we do want to do but we need to look into how popular they will be as there are a few people now selling them. I guess its all down to price lol

    Right i've been down to our carbon place and have a little update. After deciding to spend even more money to ensure very high quality bonnets; all our bonnets are now going to have an internal frame. For the race style bonnets a 1mm fibreglass internal frame will be lighter than adding honeycomb inserts to a bonnet skin as these tend to absorb resin. Rough estimate of price will be about £380. Clearcoat carbon will be more but I cannot say quite how much just yet. Every bonnet will be have the markings for where you can drill out the holes and attach standard hinges and locking devices or you can go for bonnet pins.

    Our first Mk2 bonnet will be produced 1st week of September and the first tailgate mid september.

    are boot's going to be of a similar price to the bonnets? and that rough price i'm guessing is for just like the black carbon and not a lacquered weave one?

    or am i wrong?

    but i want a boot and bonnet for sure.

    Well if the car is here to stay then I will be interested in a carbon bonnet but I
    would want the Pug badge recess still in the design you see which I imagine
    people wont do like Spoox (cheers Jay btw).

    May just look at getting a plastic bonnet (like the bumpers) to save on cost and
    weight. That way I can get the design I want too for not a fat lot more.

    Ha ha we are as eager as everyone else to get these made as its been a long road and we've learned a lot on the way. Its really not going to be long now as the moulds should be virtually finished - I think three individual moulds have now been created to get the bonnet looking and fitting right when all combined so its a very complicated process, but it should pay off in the long run.
    Time wise its going a little slow but thats almost inevitable on things like this that are custom made..

    Prices really can't be worked out until we get the final bill for the mould work as only then will we know real costs of what we have to get back from the development costs and the price to manufacture the actual bonnet. First bonnet will be a gel coat lightweight one that will need painting so good for all you trackday boys

    For a carbon bootlid I think its expensive, for a unique item its probably not. Asking streamline what it would cost to create one from the mould would give a good indication as to whether £700 is worth it.

    anyone know the weight of the standard bonnet/boot and what are these carbon fibre ones going to weigh roughly? just wondered overall how much weight will be saved

    standard bonnet is around 8-10kg I would have thought. Carbon i would hope would be half that at minimum.

    i would of said heavier for a standard bonnet, but should see a good weight save anyway.

    on the bonnet your using as a skin, would look very nice if you add a dimma grille and then carbon fibre'd into the inner lip, like Baz has done to his standard bonnet. i would def buy one if you did that.

    due to budget constraints this will be a standard replacement for now but we will look to modify the mould at a later date to remove the badge recess.

    I have good news. The first bonnet is being made this week. Its a gel coated bonnet in black that will be ready for painting. If we are happy with how this turns out we will start taking orders shortly.

    The Boot mould has had a setback as the bootlid we had; we decided was not good enough condition to work with so we are going to buy a brand new one unless someone has a stripped down mint one they do not need???

    At the moment we cannot afford to fund the development costs of a badboy mk1 bonnet. We would really need a ready made bonnet and a few preorders so we could pay for the mould costs...

    If we get a list going for MK1 - How much would the total cost be?
    If we supplied a bonnet. Sure we could somehow get one from a scrappy.

    Kam your cost would be mould costs £ ???
    The actual making of the bonnet £ ???

    Right well jimo i will join you once we get the arnaged price, on this and im guessing were going to be needing a badboy bonnet for the mold as a normal bonnet wont do so thats going to put out costs up even more, UNLESS we conntact someone whos willing to donate for a discount on the Cf bonnet if that makes sence?

    let us know Kam, will put my anme down in a diffrent colour for now

    Red = Deffinate
    Yellow = Depening On Price

    i was wondering the same, and im sure someone wuld donate one if they get it back and a discount, only reason i say that is as i belvie that was the deal with another bonnet, thaught i read your thread about the discount you see ;0

    Surely we can one for £20ish from a scrapy.

    Ask Tif (is it tif whos on here witha scrappy)

    Then use that... if not, who ever puts there name down to donate a bonnet gets discount.
    But pays enough to make you a profit.

    mate would you be planning on making any carbon fibre interior pieces such as the centre console and vents or gearstick surround, or better still a carbon fibre dash board and door cards

    I think we will only be able to afford to invest in a boot this side of christmas and possibly the mk1 bonnet, interior parts might have to wait till after christmas. A full carbon dash would be rather cool, though we were looking at flocking first

    do you know when the weave ones will be getting in?

    we'll get them made to order so you can have whatever you like

    The one I'm collecting is carbon with a gel coat finish not clear coat where you can see the weave.

    no prices as of yet. We need to pay the final bill, work out how much we have spent so far and then once we have stopped crying work out a price based on that.
    100% will be monday.
    Bootlid coming soon but again theres no point in giving estimates as theres always something that bumps the price up on the mould making. The bootlid will be completely standard with the numberplate recess.

    with regards to the bonnet and you say what ever we want, does that mena you can do one with a grill smoothed in, or would we still need to put are own grill on?

    basically you can have fibreglass skin or carbon skin, carbon with fibreglass frame, carbon with carbon frame, gel coat carbon (basically smooth like fibreglass) etc.
    Lots of options so you can get a bonnet to your needs. Smoothing would require some modification to the mould.
  133. Saxperience Post Whore Joined: May 2007 Blackpool Posts: 7123 MK5 Golf GTi FSi
    #133
    but im right in saying once you have that skin sorted your working on now, and the mold is perfect etc, then its pretty much easy to make things from that main mold, well not easy as such but doable like?

    we'll make them to order now the mould is right so if people want clear coat then they just order one. We make it in a week and ship it out.. Just getting the different options up on the website at the moment.

    To see the weave you need a clear coat. Which is a lot more expensive

    The Gell coat is just black. This is the finish on motorsport stuff as its then painted after.

    They are different composites and the mixtures change the properties.

    Carbon is the lightest but the most brittle. As you go down the list the weight gets slightly more but there are other advantages.
    The lighter ones are strong in tension and weak in compression. As you go down the list to the heavier items they get stronger in compression. GRP is something like 5 times stronger than kevlar in compression.

    The panels on my 309 are Carbon / Kevlar as it was designed for rallycross when there is a lot of impacts. The mix means that it won't shatter like an F1 car, but there is some give/flex

    bumpers and wings .. hmm not sure if there is a market for those.

    FG bonnet would weight about 7-7.5kgs at a guess with the inner frame
