el_bandido Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Does anywhere make the standard curved spoiler in carbon? Had a Google search, but to no avail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Im sure one of the skinners could do it for you. Contact Steveo on here, he's a hobbyist for skinning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_bandido Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 I'd be content to pay for the entire thing to be replicated in carbon (rather than skinned), I can't imagine it's a difficult shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashloys Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I'm sure someone could just mould one for you. It would probably be expensive but probably easily done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Not going to be cheap to make from c/f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Not going to be cheap to make from c/f This. Especially a one off too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Water transfer printing is what i'd do, cheap and quick but looks great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el_bandido Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 I'm not concerned about cost and I'm yet to see a hydrodip carbon finish that isn't an obvious deception. Skinning is an option, but my entire car is going to be a one off and I quite like the lines of the stock spoiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be nice if you could tell us the company you used and the price so other members could go one made too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I'd imagine its down to the style of cf transfer you use, I've seen a few that look very much like real cf, as you say plenty don't though Be interesting to see how you get on with this, maybe try the place that did the carbon widebody panels, you could try Whifbitz and see if they'll tell you who they use to make their cf parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dim Sum Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Water transfer printing is what i'd do, cheap and quick but looks great Because the shape of the stock spoiler the water transfer wont be too effective on the curve areas and could possibly cause the carbon pattern to stretch or missing in some areas.
