paul691 Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 I've just had some quotes back for a couple of laser etched parts. I'm just seeing if anyone would be interested in these. I havnt had any made yet, so its CAD drawings and your imagination for now. A google search will show you how good the quality of a laser etch is. I want to do this as a group buy to save money at the laser cutters. I would need to get 5 sets of each ordered (miniumum), but to make it cheaper for all it would be better to get 10+ of each. First off are these door mirror blanking plates: OR These will be made from 1mm brushed stainless steel. The blue parts will be laser etched (finish colour of the etch will be dark grey). Price for these would be: If only 5-9 sets ordered (of each type) it will be £45 per set, but if I can get interest for more than 10 it will drop to £30 per set. Good saving. Next are these C-Pillar plates: OR These will be made from 1mm brushed stainless steel. The blue parts will be laser etched (finish colour of the etch will be dark grey). Price for these work out similar to the door fillers: If only 5-9 sets ordered (of each type) it will be £47 per set, but if I can get interest for more than 10 it will drop to £32 per set. Items like these ahve been available in the past, but I dont think anyone make these now?? Please let me know if anyone is interested in these and I'll start a list going..... 1 Quote
Redrobie Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 If they are for the Coupe I would be interested in the rear ones. Maybe front too but I have not decided on my style of mirror yet. Quote
kenny dock Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 HI Paul I would take a set of c pillar rear with opel logo kenny Quote
Sutty2006 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Not sure if the blue would match a red manta? But if it does, Id have a set of C pillar ones (blitz) if theres 10 orders... I orded some years ago (not from you) that never arrived Quote
davo Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) I would be interested in both sets with the blitz logo Edited February 6, 2014 by davo Quote

Sutty2006 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 The etch will actually be a dark grey. I just made it blue while I was doing the CAD drawing so it stood out more. So could the blitz be red then? if so im up for it Quote
paul691 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Posted February 7, 2014 So could the blitz be red then? if so im up for it I will have to get in touch with the laser cutters again and see if they can do different colours without changing the price. 1 Quote
paul691 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 I've had a reply back from the laser cutters, they can not currently do colour etching. They would have to sub con the work and then that would end up putting the price up. I think laser etching is expensive enough without that. So, going off a sample they showed me some time ago these etched items I'm offering here (and any future parts) will have a dark grey etch. I want to get an order in with the laser cutters this week (on all my items I'm offering), so if anyone wants parts - shout up Quote
