You have to think of the original costs for the moulds though steve, things needed to mould fibreglass doesnt come free.

Also moulds have to be PERFECT to get a good result everytime.

yes but even if you factor in the moulds, that is still some markup!

Yea after you've proberbly sold the first bonnet you've got your money back but moulding isnt an instant thing.

Still takes time and that time could be spent on doing other things.
