Hey Groovyjay,

First my own car

The cf-parts are not cheap, and when we are beginning to produce some, then we have to be sure we have a serious buyer. If you really interested, you could made the trip to the Netherlands and we can have a talk. The guy I know is really good, he made parts for Porsche and Vipers too. If you want, he made your whole vette from cf-parts, also he uses honycom. But wait and see what we can made for the C4. I will put some pics on my photo site to show you all what going on.

They are from the Fiat Coupe, a car which you do not see very much on the other site of the Atlantic. Now I have mount them in a simple way in to my hood, it is a test. But in the new hood, they will be mounted in the right way, because we use the original mountings for that type of light. The light are also sold in xenon.

So when you wanted those lights, you should use the cf hood I am going to made.....or cut your stock hood......

Any updates Jonny? Flying to Holland woud not be a problem. I keep flying between UK and Finland on regular basis and I coudl easily make detour to holland to check out the CF stuff. I've been in talks with other C3 owners and there seems to be a small demand on CF parts. Most desired stuff seems to be hoods and doors and tilt front ends... Would that be doable?

The company is specialized in race wheels for Paris Dakar Rally, also track wheels. Now a days they made 3 piece billet wheels also. The wheels I had, were special made for my vette, they could have the torque of more than 500 lbs/ft on the street. I know there is a dealer in the USA. I am not sure for Canada, but sent a email too Manuel Blanco.
I am going to order the same wheels for my C5, but in different sizes: 18x9 front and 19x11 rear.

Price: about 700 euro a wheel
