I'm considering making carbon fibre parts and I would like to get feedback on what parts you would like to see. All parts will be vacuum formed with quality being the highest priority. At this point in time I will be using a 204 gram 2x2 weave cloth.

Fire away.....

Tail shaft;)

With how many ponys your going to have not a bad idea.

Anything that can take weight off the car would help. Bonnet, boot ect.... what the budget?

Also if you want make 2 of everything and I test the seconds for you for free. :D

Make every panel that comes off the car carbon fibre, bonnet, guards, doors and bars. That should take a bit of fat out of it.

Inside, perhaps dash, console and door trims in raw finish.

You said wish list, that would be my wish list, which would also extend to probably suspension components also, cutting down on unsprung weight is always a good thing, carbon fibre sub frames would probably cut a fair bit of weight also but obviously legality could be an issue also..

NA style coil cover would be tops, no holes like the turbo cover. Larger holes to clear AN breather fittings would also be good.
