Louvres would definately sell. If you could make one for a MK3 I'd have one. Wings etc. probably would too. All depends on the price like

Certainly be up for a louvre. Not so much wings, I like having an extra layer of metal there ;) Bonnets and boot lids possibly though.

Suprised no one has said it yet, but i reckon Snowcaps would be a good seller, i'd have one if they were cheap enough :wink:

Bodykit moulds already exist, so not likely worth making another set!

Hi all.
Snowcaps are great. I love mine,[cheers vnd]. Every 300 should have one.
Louvers are f*****g the buisness,[cheers Fritts].
If replacements could be made, it would certinly sell.
Cheers Mark. sm4

yeah definitely, fiberglass wings would be a godsend for me as im going to start rebuilding my first 340 soon and the wings + valance are long gone, and i guess solid metal replacements are hard to come by :(

Yeah, but they exist in farrell's shed and who knows when they'll reappear? I need a kit for my silver 3dr GLT!

Also, as above Louvres are the most sought after item for a 300, but might be pretty tricky to make out of GRP.

Yeah they cost 100 quid IIRC, so all you need to do is sell them for less than that and put some effort into advertising. Nev's website for example is less than helpful:

Was that the louvre you meant?

I'm sure they would sell like hot cakes! or at least until we all had one :lol:
