More or less everything available, bonnet, front 1/4 bumpers, back bumper, door cars & foot trays. Could be a few others but I can't mind them.

There's a good business in carbon bits for MK2's in rallying mate, just a heads up.

Chris, would it not been better to take a mould of corsa wings with arch already on so the finished product is one piece and all fiberglass? Just an idea.

That would be cool but the backs would still need to be sorted to match then

Provisionally priced at £140 including delivery.

As long as I don't get charged too much by the couriers.

As soon as I have one ready I'll post some pictures up.

The carbon Gsi bumpers have been talked about ;-) the only part I can see being a pain in the proverbial is the funny slotted part on the lower of the bumper. Might be that the carbon version is an open mouth type.

VW camper sounds interesting, message me with your ideas ;-)

I can make the indicator covers in fibreglass all day everyday, at the moment I'm too busy to try and make them in carbon fibre.

I'm a little bit stressed at the moment but when or if work slows down I'll try them in carbon.

Hi Possy,

I pretty much think so ha ha.

I know I went a bit mad with the paint but here's a quick picture of the corsa Gsi front jacking covers. I will get a picture tomorrow of the clips and how I've added to the original design to make them stronger.
