hi has anybody had any bits done on there bikes , and whats the quality like as I am thinking of getting a few bits done in carbon. thanks for any info.
Yeah I had the front and rear hugger, air ducts and both tank trims done on my K5 1000 Gixer at Wicked Coatings in Dorset. It was a case of choosing which style and colour I wanted then posting the bits off to them. I sent them before I went offshore for 2 weeks then rang them before I made my way back home and Chris Hinks posted them out to arrive back home when I did. These are the guys who did the Range Rover dash panels for Mike Brewer on Wheeler Dealers and a lot of the VW lads use him off the VW T5 forum. Pics below.
Chris did me a deal as I was the guinea pig for the Gixer forum so he gave me an introductory discount providing I advertised it when I got it all back together. He did the same for one of the guys on the T5 forum too who had his dash done. It cost me £130 IIRC. I'm sure it should have been around £250. Maybe he'd do the same for the first person on here. If you need his contact details let me know or just visit the site at www.wickedcoatings.co.uk They do cammo, coloured carbon and all sorts. Check them out.
I was gonna get my wheels done on the Gixer as the carbon wheels look the bomb! Went with white powder coat in the end as it just lifts the bike from the black wheels as standard. http://www.wickedcoatings.co.uk/refurbished-alloy-wheels-carbon-dipped-wheels If for instance your bike is silver they can put the carbon film over a silver base for silver carbon. Chris also doesn't charge you until you are happy with the pics he has sent you are approved. The only thing I will say is if you sent hem any textures parts they will just coat what you send. My mate sent his S1000RR tank trims to be done which already have a crosshatch pattern to them and the finished article was not the best as the carbon look weave was running in a different direction to the pattern. They really should have sanded off the pattern from the plastics before starting so bear that in mind.
