Carbon Fibre

Post by **RS44ME** » Fri Oct 17, 2008 11:35 am

I have a carbon fibre fetish.

www.rsquattro.com no longer makes the parts as displayed on their website.

Does any know who still makes Carbon Fibre parts for the B7 RS4 ?

I can make the odd bit. Main problem is I work f/t doing a proper job and the wife and kids zap most of my spare time.....

A CF rear diffuser would sell well!

You mean the exhaust surround or a totally new diffuser?

If you mean the exhaust surround, then can someone post some pics up, so I can see what it looks like.

Thanks

Yes, the black plastic exhaust surround with the mesh bit housed inbetween the two exhaust which constitutes the rear valance.

That looks tasty caldy but by the looks of the rear bumper it comes with a part painted lower bumper piece as well from the 2nd picture

I soooo want a carbon fibre exhaust surround!!!

I'm working on the exhaust surround....it's all in hand.

Have sent some pictures to my contact, and awaiting a price. He says its possible, so it is a go ahead!

Can you then also do the front oil cooler splitter in CF? Tartan Rob pioneered it but I understand it's a hobby for him rather than a F/T committment and would like one to compliment the rear exhaust surrond.

Can get that done no problems. Will again try and get some prices first.

Bearing in mind that Tartan Rob, as far as I can tell makes a totally new part from CF. This is very expensive, but obviously is usually more stronger and lighter than the part it is replacing.

The process I have in mind (which Rob will sure know), is called wet lay, and this is utilises the original part, with a overlay of carbon. This is cheaper than the "dry" carbon route, and because it's being used for asthetic parts and for something where weight saving is not a priority, this is the better option.

I'll also hopefully have prices for the sill entry strips, side engine cover, rear bumper lip, and the seat belt guides for the buckets.
