A few on ebay, but I would of thought one of the raceteams that pop in here may be able to help with a n old Tuscan tyre or something?

Thats what I am hoping for, have just e-mailed Mr Barf to see if he can help, some bits of old bodywork or carbon bits would be good also

Try some stuff like this:
www.tapeworks.com/Pages/carbonlook.html

You can make anything look like carbon without all of that bothersome expense...

Sure to be some used rubber going cheap.
