Do these guys still make spare parts? And if so does anyone have a rough idea on costs?

I'm guessing, but More Than a Woman, and several Nights on Broadway!

I already talked to them, they will not supply or make any parts for the Noble, they have a contract with Noble that they will not break, if you want anything to do with a Noble including body parts you have to contact Noble head office.

Has anyone made new clams for a Noble yet? Jsut thinking there are a lot of people that are putting vents here and there, why not just get the 'finshed product' remodled and make some replacement clams??????........

Hmmmm if this was to happen what would everyone want to see? Fornt and rear wheel arch vents? Bigger intercooler scoop? maybe a fastback rear clam?........

I would like to see a alternative side pod modification, new doors and a great big side pod extending full height of door.


Rear clam Mod


Longer with modified whale tail
Whale tail vents
Flared wheel arches to suit side pod modification.
Wheel arch rear vents
Fastback
Lower lip and support system modified
F430 rear light clusters.
Recess for number plate
Built in air filter boxes inside wheel arch
Scoops over wheel arch for air filter boxes
Honeycomb or fins over rear mesh for aesthetics

Needs to retail for under 5k

Alternatively if somebody was producing a rear clam mod that looked like this i would also be interested
