A quick look at the contacts on ebay listing gives a phone number for LWS Designs, googling that number comes up with this club GTI advert and the username Lew1s (see post #4 of this thread) http://www.clubgti.com/showthread.php?247629-Mk3-golf-light-weight-grp-bonnett
Hi Andy - thanks for pointing that out. I'm discussing advertising options with these guys - they emailed the club on the subject. Hope we can do a deal to bring them on board, as there seems to be a gap in the market.
you know what i think is strange,there has to be someone who must know one of the guys from performance trim to see what happened with all the moulds or am i a little bit too optimistic?
They guys I'm talking to bought most of the moulds from Performance Trim. You're right... someone does know
Schwing! You can tell them the boys over on Vortex are itching for composite panels too. What ever happened to pressure-tested, the guy with the Jetta from New York(?)? I thought he was going to set something up
I'd love a carbon roof, wings, tailgate and bonnet.. Sadly Performance Trim took all my savings for them.. If anyone does know where they are now I'd like to find out.. I'll catch up with the thieving **** one day
Sorry to hear that. Bankruptcy doesn't protect the little guy, unfortunately. I did check, and the people at LWS design tell me they were not involved in Performance Trim.
Thanks Mike I can confirm personally we had no business involvement at all with Performance Trim, Lewis who owns LWS bought a Carbon Roof and Bonnet for a 20v Mk2 he was building several years back which was the only involvement as a customer, we were approached about a month ago with an opportunity to buy the moulds after our adverts were seen on eBay
Hi, Sadly not, we have about 90% of the moulds but the doors are in the 10%. We have the wings for Mk1. What seems to have happened with the odd exception is that the moulds that did goto other companies have struggled to get the infusion process nailed and so the moulds have either been discarded with or are laying dormant, either way a big shame! When the website is live we will include a full inventory of what we have...
thats indeed a shame as he sent me some pics how they would look like and with all of their products they would be absolutely awesome
do you have the mould for the roof for the mk2 because a customer of us is in the sarch of it incl the hood and bootlid,and also the doors(if you can make some moulds of them?)
Very sorry for only just seeing this! Must sort out my email subscriptions to threads! Yes, we can do the Mk2 Roof skin, Bonnet / Hood and tailgate we have the moulds for all three but just not the doors at the moment
How do Carbon roof skins secure to the car ? Do you cut the majority of the roof out, leave a 2" lip and just bond it to that with Tiger Seal or something ???
Hi, Apologise for the poor quality of the images but these three pictures we have give some idea... If i have some better pictures I will upload these....
Thats a definate yes then I`m surprised you didn`t remove the old headlining supports first ? I`m guessing no cage in the car.
