Hi All!

Me again.

So after a while of planning,  arranging the workshop and almost placing myorder @ £2,000  with easy composites. Ithought I would do some workings out (yes I should have done this before)

So my plan was to make and sell various car body panels andsell them at a cost with a small profit margin. I estimated that the FIAT 500Bonnet in the video would cost about £350 to make, but speaking to easycomposites, it actually costs £600 in core materials.

Now bearing in mind that Carbon bonnets sell for around the£600 mark, I’m wondering whether I need to revisit the drawing board andactually work out if this is a viable business or not?

What are your thoughts? Does anyone on here make parts andhave a good turnover with a margin for profit?

Cheers all

Shane
