The parts look great, would be fairly difficult to have too much carbon fibre in or on my car!! Can't wait to hear what the prices will be, hope they don't hurt too much.

looks expensive

fan shroud would be something i'd be definately in for!
All those pats look awsome, but i'm thinking it'll be expensive to get em all at once.

I like a lot of this stuff but kinda delaying on buying any CF as I want to see what 'Umm' comes up with on the aluminium styling.... fan shroud, and similar....

not sure where he is at though as I think he is getting mass orders through the UK site

Hi Guys

Your more than welcome to start a GB on the carbon products i have already moulds for with a lot of parts to follow in the next few weeks

Whats the rules RE: GB's on this forum? AS I don't wanna post up the GB's and step on someones toes if you know what I mean?

Well Stevie, it kinda works like this:
I contact the ftooc mods & check if your a nice legit bloke (seem like you are

) As we do with all potential traders now.

You start a list of required buyers to make it a groupie post
1.
2.
3.
etc etc

Once you get the numbers up (or close enough) one of us mods will move it into Group buys & manage the finances (unless one of our senior members wants to)

Best way I've found to manage UK buys is to one central buy manager (managing $ as well) and a central point over here for the goods to arrive at - then distribution

And so on!

No problem well PM me as soon as its all clear - I will do the GB on the Fan Shroud / Brake light Cover & Boot / Petrol Release first run for 2 weeks

Shipping and payment one central location would be best

Lots of other goodies coming very soon

i'll run it as long as u dont give me sleepness nights stevie. what i reakon the best thing to do is to complete all the parts u are planning on making and then make up a price list for us guys and then we can start guaging interest and making it a proper group buy.

yeah i cant commit until i know prices (not incl) postage obviously. Biggest problem we have had with UK Group buys in the past (and why group buys in the UK work so well over here), is our currency sucks in comparison to yours.

And trying to calculate who owes what for what bits, who pays what freight, who pays what percentage of the transfer fee - all the mean time calcuating the always varying exchange rate

That dials one drove me mad!

Ah well, it can be done, just need to keep ontop of the numbers

MS Excel is a goodie I use
Takes me 15 mins to calculate and double check everything for seat covers.
Just need to spend the time to set it up correct

akuma dude i told u on another thread i can get u a cf airbox exactly like mine made if u want. piping etc would be your problem but. the hassle with airboxes is that everyones set up will be different
