Default Coloured Carbon
I remember Trinity making a Blue carbon front shock tower for the XXX/BK2, but this is not available now. Then there is the SSD Yokomo with Sexy silver carbon.

I want RED carbon.... can it be done?? :safe:

Yes it can, I remember a company (who also sold on Ebay) made red and blue carbon conversions for the Xray.

Is it really, is a certain shop in the Midlands getting fed BS ? Apparently he tried for me and Helger said not available.

Hmmm, I would try another sauce (yeah I know it is spelt wrong, ha ha) but there's no point as the X6 will be with me soon. When I wanted the Blue tower it was before I knew about the X6.

What I really want is a sheet of carbon in RED..

ha ha, your keen ain't ya?
I'm very excited about the X6, I'm sure Dan is and everyone else who has pre-ordered, but right now I'm not sure of the timescale. I haven't chatted to Chazz about it, I am just keeping an eye on the forums. I think I'll still be running the BK2 at Tiverton tho.

Jimmy, when I get the car I could meet you one evening for you to get some pictures? That's if you don't mind and are able to share them with Mr.Benfield?

Chris I kown for a fact that Helger have them in stock as I picked one up from Helger on 7th April 2006 the day before the Kidderminster national.
Perhaps your shop in the midlands doesn't know the right part number and is just asking for one.

That may be the case Brian. Im not going to quiz him now.

How about the Alloy shock colars in Blue or red, I was told at the same time that I can't get them either.

Might well be worth talking to Fibrelite. I think they can do coloured stuff. They did some silver flake fibreglass stuff for us for the Corally 12th car during the winter.

Canadian site with colored Carbon/Kevlar. There must be someone in England who offers a similar material. HOwever, if not, the shipping on a sheet should be minimal. I also suggest you contact Fiber-Lyte or Hastings Composites in England as I used to have them make parts for my gas buggies back in the day and they were great to work with.

What's really great about them is you can get them to make a part based on an exisiting part and they get it spot on. Then they send you the new and your original back. Don't have their info right at hand but you should be able to get it off the web. If not, tell me and I'll go find my last email from them.
