That is really great, you should start selling those, I bet you would make a fortune.
Let me know if you ever make one up for a D2.
Take care,
Mike

Wow that looks good. It must have taken a long time to make those. Are they for the newRange Rover? I would be interested in a 03-04 style set if you ever decide to start selling them. Is carbon fiber very hard to work with? Is it like making fiberglass parts? Carbon fiber isnot fragile, itis quite strong. it is usedfor jet wings,wheels,indy,f1 and funny car bodys.

thank you guys.. yes you correct willie, carbon fiber is very strong. all aero space industries are using carbon fiber. sorry at the moment i make only for my car. but soon i will start selling. its a real carbon one. not a fake carbon/sticker carbon that you can find on the market like ebay.
