Carbon Fibre Engine Cover & Parts

Post by djrltd » Fri Sep 27, 2019 6:36 pm

Hi everyone,
I've just bought my first RS audi, B8 RS4 and I absolutely love it!
I have already started looking into modifications and down the slippery slope we go.

First up is a carbon engine cover.

I just so happen to manufacture carbon fibre parts for a living. I am going to make one of these for myself, but just wanted to throw it out there to see if anyone is interested and I will look to do a batch of them. If there is decent demand I will move things around and get right on them. They will work out cheaper than what I can see is currently offered on the market and the standard of my parts is second to none.

They will be one piece, full gloss carbon fibre, similar to the Eventuri covers (rather than those with a carbon top plate and OEM sides)

Also if anyone has anything else they have been looking to get made in carbon fibre, feel free to shoot me an email - sales@djrltd.com

Meanwhile feel free to take a look at what we already make - www.djrltd.com

Cheers,
Dan

Hi everyone,
Just a quick post, I have started work on moulds for these this week, hope to have a test part out by next week and then start on a small batch the week after.

Rear diffuser is not separate, it is part of the bumper unfortunately.
Good to see how the engine cover comes out when you get them done.

Quick update. Just working on finishing touches to the pattern for these, then I can take the final mould and crack on. Price is going to be £250 plus VAT for the first couple, then £300 plus VAT. I've made them so the cover slots right on top of the original, so no issues with mounting points etc. I should have a sample done next week at some point to show off, then I will jump on the first batch.
On the diffuser, I've got a few ideas for it which I'll keep ticking over in the background.
