My full carbon order for my V8 Vantage is here!

[Marcos AMV8]

Hi guys!

Yesterday I recibe my order from OYA-Carbon in China!

I orderer:

Full carbon bonnet-hood
Carbon hood vents
Carbon side strikes
Carbon rear lamp inserts
Carbo front lip
Carbon rear difusor
Carbo kamm tail
Carbon Mirror set

First of all the packagin was perfect, very solid and all well wraped with foam paper and plastic bags, nothing was hurt during the transportation, the company was DHL and cost me 400 Euros from China to Santa Cruz de Tenerife, in the Canary Islands.

I recive exactly what I ordered and I was real impresed by the quality, including the big parts like the bonnet that I read that is very dificult to maintain the lines of the carbono in straight line. Couldn´t be more happy with my order, thanks OYA-Carbon!

Here are the photos I made, there you can see the details of all.

Im going to install all and paint the kamm tail and the bonnet in the color of the car like the V12. Also Im gonna paint the roof and the space between the two rear lamps (including a fine line around lamps) in gloss black as the V12. The chrome windows archs and front grille will also be painted in black so there will be no chromed parts in the cars left except the vantage legend in the rear trunk. The interior hoops on front lights will be painted in black too..and forgot tail pipes also will be painted with caloric black paint

After that Im gonna paint in yellow or fluor orange around the front intake and in the border of the roof with the window archs like the new 430. I think about paint the rear blade of my 4.3 but as I replaced it with this new carbon diffuser Im thing to paint some kind of inverted arch around diffuser or a line in the exterior border of itself as in the new GT3, will probe first with colored tape and see what looks more harmonic with the car lines

Cool stuff, I'd be interested how you get on with it, updates as you go.
Plastidip for the chrome is something you might consider. It can be taken off without too much problem if you need/want to.

Nice order!

Oya is great quality but a pain the a*set to fit, requires a lot of messing about to get the fit/gaps just right.

Apart from fitting issues, I would use them again; great quality, packaging and trustworthy.

Put up pics one done please.

"I recive exactly what I ordered and I was real impresed by the quality, including the big parts like the bonnet that I read that is very dificult to maintain the lines of the carbono in straight line".

If you are going to paint the bonnet and tailpiece, then I would have thought the lay of the weave would not matter?

Is the weight saving over the original alloy bonnet really worth the expense of carbon and painting? Dont forget to add the weight of the paint and lacquer to the carbon bonnet overall weight, its quite a bit!

I can only suppose that you are assembling a V12V lookalike from your V8 and the carbon bonnet was cheaper than an original V12V one?

Well, I was talking about it looks like well done, I want the V12 because it vents refrigerate the engine better and makes some downforce libering the heat under the bonnet, also for sure it gives a racing look alike. I paint it because for me with the vents in carbono its enought, the weight saving its a fact and with the paint is under the original bonnet of the V12..For sure the price is important, many people says there is fitment issues but with solution and for the price and the quality you get is a bargain.

Is it me or is there just one pic on thumbpics of the bonnet ?

Are there more we can look at as I'm interested in some carbon parts.

My Kamm tail was a complete PITA to fit.
It flared up at the edges when layed flat on the boot so I had to fudge it and tilt it slightly while the glue held.
Never completely happy with how it sat on the car. The worst fitting item I received from OYA.

Hope you have better luck.
