Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 I just wanted to say a big thankyou to Mark from carbon NV for my new cycle wings. The quality looks amazing and I am really happy. So looking forward to getting them on Buttercup. The communication has also been excellent and I have been kept informed throughout. Anyway here are some pictures for you all to drool over. :t-up: 6 Quote
SteH Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Oooo very nice! Aside from the obvious bling factor, is there a weight saving over the GRP equivalent? Quote
Greggs Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Yeah i like them Geoffrey......thinking of some myself... Quote
Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted December 2, 2015 Author Posted December 2, 2015 Oooo very nice! Aside from the obvious bling factor, is there a weight saving over the GRP equivalent? I would think so but no idea what. The carbon wing weighs 500g. I did not buy them for the weight though. Quote
Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted December 2, 2015 Author Posted December 2, 2015 Yeah i like them Geoffrey......thinking of some myself... I will show you them on Friday when I bring your exhaust. Quote
Kit Car Electronics Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Uh oh, you're on the slippery carbon slope now 2 Quote
Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted December 2, 2015 Author Posted December 2, 2015 Uh oh, you're on the slippery carbon slope now haha. Already on the way. I have at the moment. Carbon interior panels. Carbon chassis protectors. Carbon Mirrors. Carbon rear stone guards. And now my cycle wings. Quote
Andy (Sycho) Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Nice! I'm looking for some myself, how stiff are they as my carbon effect ones are eating themselves away & the factory ones with return edges are expensive! Andy Quote

I'm looking for some myself, how stiff are they as my carbon effect ones are eating themselves away & the factory ones with return edges are expensive!Andy The wings feel stiff to me but I am not sure how they are supposed to feel. I can twist them slightly if I hold each end but they certainly are not floppy and feel well up to the job. The return edges that go down the face of the tyre are solid. Quote
Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Very nice Geoff how much were they? also have you decided how you are going to fix them? I had a pair of carbon ones on my previous westfield and I bonded in big head fasteners to avoid drilling through the lovely carbon 1 Quote
Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted December 2, 2015 Author Posted December 2, 2015 Hi Marcus. Don't want to discuss money as its a dirty subject. I am sure Mark will look after you. Regarding the fixing......No idea. I was just going to take the car to Bogg Brothers and say" fit them for me Steve and I will see you in a fortnight" I will put your idea to Steve though. 1 Quote
Greggs Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 I will show you them on Friday when I bring your exhaust. Noooooo because then i will need some.... Dont wanna see them.... Quote
Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted December 2, 2015 Author Posted December 2, 2015 Ok. I will wrap them back up. Its such a shame and a waste. Don't forget Christmas is coming up. Quote
Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted December 2, 2015 Author Posted December 2, 2015 I will make sure they are available for viewing. Quote
