Sorry it's taken a few days to get this info, but to answer a few questions...
* We aren't going to replicate any of the brackets for the wiper motor. We could cut the hole out for the wiper on request, but it'd be up to the individuals to work out a way to fit the motor gear. Our philosophy is lighter = faster = no rear wiper! I'll take a closer look at it when we get a part in to mould, but I imagine the neatest part would have the wiper hole area smoothed.
* The number plate plinth will be a separate item like the original. Carbon plinths may be made available as an extra at a later date, but there's no weight saving there.
* The original spoiler mechanisms will fit as standard as I know most people are keen to keep the moving spoiler. I may design up some fixed-spoiler brackets to save all the weight of those mechanicals - something else to look at when I have a part in the workshop.
* Price-wise, the 'fully carbon' option will be £670 inc. vat. (gloss carbon outer and inner frame). 'Standard carbon' will be £505. Fibreglass will be £280. These are the same prices as our bonnets.
We've got quite a few group-buys in the pipeline at the moment (mk4 golf roofs, e30 BMW roofs, mk1 escort bonnets and escort cosworth tailgates), so it's going to be around 12 weeks until we see the corrado moulds being finished. Once moulds are done, we can make 2-3 parts per week - in the order in which deposits are placed.
To get the group-buy rolling, we need a minimum total order of 10 parts, at least 5 need to be carbon. This helps us cover our initial tooling costs. We can take a minimum 50% deposit on the order, The remaining 50% plus p&p can be paid when the part is ready.
I hope this covers most questions, feel free to call or email us directly if there's anything else that needs to be clarified. It's usually easier to deal with everyone ordering and making payments separately, so if you're all ready you're welcome to begin calling in with your order.
cheers, Mike
