Carbon fiber bits

[seriously]

Found this Jogon part on AliExpress. Unfortunately it's a stick on cover like so many CF pieces.

I think that’s called “adding lightness”

The hood is not my thing, but those front bumper inserts would match nicely with the rear diffuser on offer.

@Aerie, any lead time or cost info you can share?

We have the front vent on stock ready to dispatch.

I ordered three types of carbon exterior products from a carbon product supplier in China.
①Front air intake trim
②Front canard
③Rear fender air intake trim
It seems that all of them are dry carbon products made by autoclaving.
In addition to the products I purchased, they also sell products such as rear GT wings, front bonnets, and side skirts.

This image shows the dry carbon body kit designed and manufactured by them installed.
It seems that each part is also sold individually.

Oh that's unfortunate. The majority of it is just applique by way of VHB. The opposite of adding lightness. I'd buy a decent number of those bits if they were replacements.

Agree. However, the list may not be accurate: I don't think you can create the "Street - Rear Wing" and "Race - Rear Wing" products as a paste-only solution.

 

[Time2Fly]

Well, I contacted them to see if they're going to make more replacement parts.

 

[Aerie]

Look great , did they make the rear fender air intake and mirror replacement?

It looks identical to the CT carbon product lol, and CT carbon hasn’t even had a car with the kit installed yet. I think they might have been using those guys product haha looks interesting tho.
I wonder what’s going to be the price deference

Edit:
also something I’ve noticed, apparently CT carbon did the diffuser in all black in the renders making it unnoticeable that the diffuser is a 2 pice (top OEM bottom add on) which is a shame + a bit deceiving…

I’d also been talking to them (and a few other Alibaba sellers). Yet to order however.

I’ve a full price list for each of these parts (which I don’t plan to post), but to be honest, I’m holding out to get to work with vendors I know and trust, and have worked with for a long time on the Evora, like GRP and HethelSport. The shipping costs from China offset any benefit from the cheaper pricing and the discount isn’t that much anyway.

 

[EZcheezy]

can we really trust parts coming from China?




this post is a pretty good reason why I dont, obvious ripoff of CT carbon as mentioned above

Is it a rip off of CT Carbons or do they buy them from the same manufacturer?
I’m hanging fire until I see what carbon parts Lotus bring out hopefully this year. Also I’d like to see what they are like on someone else’s car and work out the ground clearance now I’m 15mm lower.

I would guess it’s CT Carbon who sources its parts from them. CT doesn’t have the parts yet to ship or on any car while they offer it already for sale.
No way they would be able to replicate it without the product itself and CT doesn’t really offer it yet.

this uk car has CTCarbon’s parts
