Radiator pipes +1, especially now they're out of production. I know it's just a pipe with a bend but I cbf organising that shit, I just want to buy one that comes with everything I need.

If you can make a 2x 52mm gauge pod that goes where the standard centre speaker is and looks factory or nice then you'll sell quite a few I reckon.

What sort of machining capability you got? I got small mechanical engraving machines at work and a laser that can engrave on anodising.

no machining yet starting this from home and looking at starting my own fab shop over time Smile

looking at getting a metal lathe over time but fair way off will be a slow build up but i think i can get things going soon have a few different ideas that i havent seen done to aristos Wink got a few guys who should be happy to trial parts out for a while along with my car to work out any problems Smile

but the engraving sounds interesting Wink

Yeah I've done a few cool things like custom engraved centre caps for wheels and plenty of guitar bits, also do a bit for a few local medical device people. Good results.

Hiya,

I think intercooler piping kit would be a good seller! Trying to find the right bits and pieces at the moment is a bit of a pain and my main concern is will it all fit together on the day? Im sure people would pay for the piece of mind that theres everything u need in one kit. If you are going to make such a kit in the near future let me know!

Also maybe intake filter pipe and box might be a good seller Smile

Yea that's the plan man just waiting for some money so I can buy the parts I need to start with then I will use my car to build the kit and make sure correct fitment and instructions are made for our cars I still have a stock bar to use to make kit fit behind with minimal cutting Smile and yes airbox is the next big thing I will be making as I need one for my car will try and make one that will suite a stock set of twins or a big single aswell Smile
