Carbon Moulding - Aberdeen ??
Discussion
Evening guys,
I'm looking to have a carbon moulding made of my Z4M airbox lid. Is there anywhere in Aberdeen who offers this as a service? I have a spare lid. This is what the OEM box looks like. Sorry, best picture I could find
If it's not possible, or too expensive, I would consider cutting out sections and replacing them with carbon lay or bonding sheets on. The objective is increase induction noise but keep the original airbox.
This is what I mean...

No idea who would do it for you in the Aberdeen area but if you fancy giving it a go DIY this is where to get all the stuff.

I cant see this making any difference other than visually,
Currently running a Geoff steel racing carbon box in the race car, the noise comes from the shape of the box and the HUGE inlet at the front,
even DIY unless you buy the carbon and do the whole thing yourself, this is going to be expensive!

The dream would be a CSL style airbox, but they are £3k+ including the remap. I'm also speaking to mate who may be able to hand carry a Gruppe M intake from overseas back here.
The idea behind this cheap mod is the thinner material, which will help the sound escape and also resonate a little more within the box. You can buy carbon sheets as thin as 0.2mm, I'd say the standard plastic is at least 10 or 15x that thick. If it doesn't work then I've had some fun tinkering For the cost of a few sheets and spare airbox lid.
