This is what i will be getting done pretty soon.

If your interested, let me know and i will see if we can get some more made up at the same time.

(I will be looking at getting these done around the same time as the front kit - see other thread (being done by the same guy).

yes that is mikeys car,

I would be keen on the heat shield at this stage, but pre purchase would like to see the setup in the flesh, just want to see how accomodating it would be for CAI and also if it it would effect me changing my intake pipe at a later date.

thanks camo, keep me posted.

This is the CF shroud and UAS pipe in a non turbo FTO.
As far as I know I was the only person to buy the carbon fibre shroud.


Any chance of a CF boot ever happening Camo??

EDIT: Supload.com you are *~delightful!~*!

anything is achievable with the right amount of money :D

your air box overlaps and is made of something different, but the radiator cover looks much the same (maybe a slightly different shade...)

are you going for the weight reduction, or more for the look?

cause as i think i have mentioned before somewhere, this guy is the first in Australia to have ALMOST perfected CF covering. Where the panel is covered with a layer of CF. For thoes that like the look, but cant afford the price.

I'm genuinely interested in a CF boot....not just covering.
But the price would need to be roughly the same as the bonnet for me to remain interested. :P



It would put to rest whether or not to go wing-less.

CF Mivec cover coating wouldnt work too well...

when he gets back i'll ask him about all this and get a price list.

we can have a sticky with CF costs for all different parts =D

avaliable whenever you want them, not just for a group buy =D

(maybe)
