took me over a week in elapsed time to lay up the carbon and bag it and I have a very expensive labour rate lol... over £1k of materials and consumables. its immaterial anyhow as I simply would never get a chance to do it, Im a consultant and Im booked till end of 2013 and all my spare time is spent on my own projects and my kids I might make one other just so I can pick the best of the 2 for my own car as I did some slight bamage trying to remove it from the mould but given the amount of work involved Im going to see what others think before I go down that road as this clip is more than usable and they are not significant repairs

Couldn't you have just "carbon wrapped" your old clam??? You're my hero Andy

i know a company that builds custom carbon panels for cars
would you let them use / hire your mould so we can all have carbon clams ?
alternatively if enough people are interested i can get prices for front and rear clams based on our current design

sorry moulds wont be sold or lent out... I don't want to be left in a position that if I ever have an issue I have to go through the whole process again or pay someone else a fortune to make me a part lol

I think if i'd done this I'd be torn between trying to make money back on my investment and clutching on to it with a death grip to make sure I was the only one with something this cool on my car.
