Exciting carbon news! - Page 8

Okay, my car is finally coming back soon (got an email yesterday to say cams are on their way

), so will take a set off and send them to be molded. Can you confirm that they are identical for each seat (as in passenger and driver's set are identical)?

It's the same for the rear seat centre console - it's over a grand (GBP) for that bit of plastic from BMW

. Makes the carbon one at half the price seem a veritable bargain

Hi Paul,
Anything can be done, but at the moment, I want to concentrate on the things unique to the CSL

No they are sided unfortunately! There's two pieces to each seat, the L shaped piece held in by three hex bolts and another rail trim piece that sits just under it held in by two hex bolts.

I noticed the plastic around the bolt holes, on the side trim for the seats which NZ_M3 refers to is rather fragile too!

Some CF versions of these would look superb and resolve the fragility issue

I'd certainly be interested in buying a couple.

Good to hear cams are on the way Mike...hopefully you'll have your car right back in time for some decent weather

Hello Mike,

I have finally received the carbon fiber console and I just installed it.

I am very happy with it; thank you again!

The CSL should have come this way from factory.

Kind regards,
Alex

Some other pictures (sorry for the quality).

A little comparison with the original item

The mold for the Vorsteiner will be ready this week, will be £400 + delivery if anyone is interested

.

The strut brace will be done at the same time, but we will be having to make prototype to make sure that they have at least the same kind of weight deflection as the original alloy item.

Hey Mike,

Interested in making a new rocker cover for us? This is mine but the weave is going in the wrong direction.
