    That is expensive I can do full size alloy ones from UAS for less than that. And yes they have a new manufacturer now not the dickhead who supplied the initial stock for the last GB and stuffed everyone around...

    Full size is definately the way to go as otherwise the air will escape around headlights.

    Any polished alloy part will scratch, an alterantive would be stainless but these will be heavier.

    I'll get some pricing.

    the ones we got were no8 polished stainless steel rob and trust me,they scratch the moment you close the bonnet ,i think you mean chrome was an option that was heavier that wont scratch

    Can anyone comment on fitment with a larger radiaor?

    Yeah the last lot (from UAS anyway) were alloy which scratches pretty easy. You could anodise the alloy but I think this would be just as likely to scratch.

    You could also get them made out of stainless steel which would hold its finish better than alloy but is heavier so it's a question of function over form I guess. Both options are viable though.

    Chrome would definately look best but probably cost as much as the airguide itself

    Price on full size

    For full sized airguides I can do alloy for $90 or stainless for $130.

    How many people are interested?

    i beleive mines a PWR 54 mm twinpass?
     
  15. rob260

    rob260 Administrator Staff Member

    Probably 53mm twinpass I don't think they do 54mm.

    Yes the one I pictured above will fit.

    i would be interested for sure...hey simon did you chrome yours right? how did that end up for you......if alloy is lighter i would get that and chrome it for looks.....unless you can get a similar look from stainless steel....any approximations on how heavier?

    Carbon

    Is it possible to get one of these made in Carbon fibre?

    I had to make my own in CF

    I made a full lenght in carbon fibre and looks great. Since it was hand made it works out pretty expensive, (about $80-$100 in material) and took about 3 days to make.
