Carbon Fibre parts for Vauxhalls
Discussion
I have come across this Carbon Fibre company from Thirsk in Yorkshire called Sycross. They seem to be good at what they do.
I know there are a lot r8&Ro owners in Yorkshire. I'd be pleased to read some of your knowledge of this company if at all.
Up to now they have been making CF parts inside and out for VXR Corsa's and Astra's and infact all makes of cars. They would like to make CF parts for the VXR8's and Monaro's. However, to justify this the prices would come down if they could find a larger market.
By looking at pictures only, their stuff looks good quality.
Thirsk is a long way from the south coast???

Would be nice to see a company offering genuine carbon, these cars are f-ing heavy!
The main bits they could offer cheaply would be replacements for parts that are probably made of plastic already, and thus have no real weight saving potential.Now a carbon fibre bonnet on the other hand...
If they could do a CF front bumper for a VXR, it'd probably still work out cheaper than a new one from Vauxhall...
Bonnet it a big heavy piece, and up front, so a good place to lose the weight.
Doors would be impressive, but surely a significant increase in road noise which many wouldn't like?

I think if people are doing the doors then they are way past the point of comfort!Bonnet it a big heavy piece, and up front, so a good place to lose the weight.

I am in discussions with the guy now from Sycross
He assures me their stuff is 100% full Carbon fibre. Light weight . They need the original part to make a mould skin etc, then "Bobs your Uncle". I will ask about Bonnet and other items.
Bonnet would get them a good few sales I believe, well, at least probably 5 of the things pretty quickly. I'm sure we can find a VXR bonnet to donate, I'm going to be playing with mine over winter so they could use my bonnet most probably. He assures me their stuff is 100% full Carbon fibre.
