Discussion

Hello all.
Just before I set off for my holiday there was talk about lots of CF bits and talk about a wind tunnel session that was to end up with a working rear wing.
Anyone know what's happened since?
Wind tunnel happened, adrian W, chillidog and Paul C I think.Just before I set off for my holiday there was talk about lots of CF bits and talk about a wind tunnel session that was to end up with a working rear wing.

Results a secret (fair enough as they paid the money)
CF bits I think are to follow (I know a few are on Adrians car already) and worked quite well in the tunnel.
Also Paul's CF fast-back is for sale(see dealer lounge on nobleforums.com for more info)again worked well in the tunnel (good bit of kit, shame you have to lift the clam to fill up with fuel)
Also Biggriff was talking of various bits, not sure what is happening on that front?

We are concentrating on a bigger volume market at the moment and I dont want to duplicate others efforts. I have some bits in development, but have held off until the market polarised and I could see the gaps that needed filling.
There is always a lot of requests, but you need a reasonable volume to cover your prototyping costs, hence a degree of reluctance to be sucked into commisioning parts where there is only one or two customers.

Word of advice, dont base a yes on here as a yes when it comes to paying the money!! There is always a lot of requests, but you need a reasonable volume to cover your prototyping costs, hence a degree of reluctance to be sucked into commisioning parts where there is only one or two customers.

Been caught out a couple of times in the past with this!!
The CF bits that Adrian is having made are (I think, Adrian?) all exterior items.
From past experience over the last 4 years of noble ownership, if you want something, buy it/get it made, then see if anyone else wants it (like Adrian/Paul C/Graham etc have done) If you worry about 20-30 pre orders you will never get anything done!!
Hope that does not sound too negative.

No negativity accepted.
I am more than happy to make bits and see if there is a market, but working abroad up to Xmas cramped my ability to get things done. Now with the New Year I can get on with business but we are tapping a much bigger market at the moment.
I do have some Noble bits in development and we will be making more, but they have to fit in between the TVR bits and the bits for the new market.

Cool, look forward to them, seen the bits you have had made for the TVR's look good quality and a fair price (which makes a change).I am more than happy to make bits and see if there is a market, but working abroad up to Xmas cramped my ability to get things done.

There was a company selling carbon fibre bits for the Noble at the Autosports show. They had a picture of a Noble in the Wind tunnel at Mira I think ?
Extended Front splitters and the front extra downforce blades that attach to the clam.
I saw so many traders that I cant recall their name tho
