After talking to a friend that deals in carbon fibre. He has said he can prob make us some.
However I either need a set to use as a mild or even better a CAD drawing of them.

Can anyone help?

I think 300 quid for what they are is a hell of a lot of money.

I'm sure if you design some, prove they work, then buy an autoclave and make the moulds, then produce them in small volumes, and sell them for less than £300, people will buy them from you.

yes £300 is a lot of cash, no they are not bad value

gto600 has a set from an evo that fit his noble

i suggest you buy some from another model and make them fit

should cost approx £70 - £90

a set made from aluminium should be easy to make yourself

More practical and far better value than carbon fibre

What do they do besides slicing up pedestrians?

Are they MOT friendly or classed as 'sharp edges'?

So I guess that's a no then guys.
Was hope I could get some made as there seems to have been a bit of interest recently.
Even a cardboard template of a pair would be a help at this point.

+1, what they do is incredible & they look superb especially with a Carbon splitter nearby.
They are value & the best mod I have on my car by far.

I have been wanting some of these for awhile, but i am struggling to justify paying that much for them.
Mind you i nearly had a heart attack when i got the price for one of the hard pipes from pro alloy.
people do sometimes ask what that squeaking noise is when i walk.

What corners? At what speed?
