Wtd: Carbon Fibre bonnet and Engine Lid.......inspired by Dumone's ride
So where can I get a Carbon Fibre engine lid and bonnet made for my 68 bug? Love the look of Dumone's oval style boot lid on his bug and thought a
bonnet and engine lid would look kind of 'boy racer' on my 68 bug.
Does JVL do this kind of stuff?
How much is it worth to get these items made?
Anyone?
Cheers
Craig t

ohhh Craigy, you want????????
yep, JVL can set up the mould and get them done. Sales go through Luke Pell
We only have the mould that mine came off at the moment, so a good condition deck lid would be required to set it all up.
if you have a decent set of german running boards, with no rubbers, we could start doing them too-anyone want to donate???????
now for the bad part, at least $600! for the deck lids,
double that for a bonnet

anyone done a carbon fibre one that is not the W decklid.
as i have a good condition decklid (the one with the vents) as i think maintaining the stock super look would be a bit different with fibre. most
people seem to go the w lid.

Dumone, can you get 76 style vented bootlids done as well as the later bonnets?
Seagull, do you have a contact as well who can do this.
These parts WILL be used so I'm after them

well guys, you wont get much out of us till mid August. i will get the ball rolling tho and find out.
making the molds is the time consuming and expensive bit. access to the needed panels not the problem (sorry to dissapoint, but the bonnet pic was
from another site)
keep in mind to get the mold set up and running, a run of at least six needs to be pre sold to make them even remotely affordable, but then it's nice
to keep numbers down and not loose the custom look you were seeking in the first place-hhhhhmmmmm
Craig, you are welcome to have a closer look at mine come August, after all it's easy to take off and throw around, being mounted on HOODJAX
they are only one layer of carbon fibre, with fiberglass backing, and still bloody expensive!
Neil, keep us informed, i'd go after a set of running boards first, there is a definate market for them, and would be cheaper and easier to
transport from over there (make sure you do em off GERMAN ones!)...talk to your mate and have an estimate at what the production costs would be
