AMV8 NEW parts and modifications

Hi, I am designing several parts for my AMV8. I am a professional car designer and have worked in the automotive industry for nine years, and have worked on several sports cars. Thus, I have access to various machines, materials, 3D scanners etc…
Since there is a lack of accessories and parts available apart from the ProDrive parts (but they are extremely over priced), I thought I would make my own, using the best technology and parts available, and if anyone is interested they will be available for a fraction of the parts currently available.
I am initially going to make a carbon fibre front splitter, and a carbon fibre rear diffuser. I will engineer the parts such that they will fix to the car using existing brackets. I am then going to design a rear spoiler that actually looks good and is functional (I will be doing aerodynamic tests on it). I also plan to design a replacement side(wing) mirror holder, one which is chrome that matches the trim around the window, so it all looks one part.
If anyone is interested please let me know, since I am going to make parts for my car anyway.
Regards

Good luck will definatley be checking this thread back because a friend of mine has a V8 vantage and wants some CF goodies such as rear wing and front lip spoiler, a rear diffussor will def make it look very sporty.

You had better change your user name and dont even think of posting phone numbers or conducting business here untill you get permission from a forum owner/administrator. Its grounds for a permanant ban.
Nothing personal, just need you to follow the rules to keep it fair to our sponsors
