Carbon fibre parts from China
Discussion
I ordered some carbon fibre mirror caps for my 08 V8 Vantage from the US. I was a bit surprised that the package arrived directly from China. Thus I did some investigations, and I found a company in Shenzhen which is manufacturing - amongst other - carbon fibre parts for AM cars (incl. CF V12V bonnet, CF diffuser and CF splitters). The company is called Oya Carbon. Did anyone heard of them?
I am pretty sure, that they usually do not make business with private customers, but they provided me a price list and an offer for the parts I am interested in anyhow (it’s China after all, they make business with everyone
).
Compared to OEM parts as well as aftermarket parts from known sources from the US, they are really really cheap. Though shipping expenses will be on top. Anyhow, did someone ordered already some parts from them or from any other manufacture from China? They ask for a full prepayment, so I am a bit anxious.

Shipping AND import duty on top depending on where you are
I'd be very careful about the quality of the lay up.
Good quality CF parts take A LOT of effort to get the weave looking good
Many of the cheaper parts are resin composite with a layer of CF on top and a thick layer of lacquer on top of that
I'd ask them to send a small off cut as a sample before ordering

Jarod, i was going to suggest we share shipping on a couple items but i saw on you profile that you are in Switzerland and I'm in the UK. Would be interested in the splitter and diffuser.
Yes, I live in Switzerland. Do you have an email address where I can sent the price list to? Sharing shipping would be ok, I don't mind if my parts will be shipped to UK, I have a couple of friends in UK which could pick up the parts and sent it to me. jarodw said:

I know Oya Carbon and I have dealt with them a couple of years ago.
At the time I was looking for some carbon fibre fabrics with coloured weaves (for my Carbon Eleven bangles) and they had exactly what I wanted.
They are serious and the quality was also very good.
Please PM me with price list, I would be interested to see what they charge, and could be tempted if I was to break my front CF splitter...
