Thank you for your interest.

I am posting examples of the first moulds for the E9.
I think they came out great. The heat distorted the original half moons, so I will install the new ones.
They were really flimsy cheap vacuformed junk,
Well, in the day, they really passed muster

Alberto,

It was great to talk cars and coffee with you the other day.

I’ll ship to you this week my original E3 trunk liners for making the new molds. I look forward to the results. It will be good to have a durable replacement for the fragile stock factory pieces.

Thanks again for undertaking this project.

Here is a sample of the 1st prototype. It came out great, it is as flexible as original, super sturdy.
Will make it in tinted gelcoat, as too thin to apply 2nd gelcoat.

Please note, the installed fender cover is made with mat, the second ( not installed) with cloth, much better and as thin as original
The mould was corrected and cannot see the additions to the original mould(s) anymore.
This is a top notch quality product. No ifs buts or maybes.

We also noticed that the rear taillight cover tends to distort around the taillights. Thoughts?

Regards, Alberto

[aguirola]

About the price, we still have to perfect a few issues and make the first 2 items.
At that point, we'll know time, materials etc.
Stay connected!

Hello Alberto, I hope by the time my order is ready fender cover will be ready and you will bring along with bumpers and spoiler.

 

[aguirola]

Hello Candia,
I will try my best. Please PM me.
Thank you.

[bavbob]

I'm liking this!

 

[aguirola]

Me too, difficult work.
I have been advised by Sean, that his liners are traveling to me.
Once we receive them, we'll have to restore them, as a tad forlorn, but we do the impossible.

Regards, Alberto

These look great!!

We blended the gelcoat to BMW gray. Came out quite nice and accurate.
On Monday we start with the 1st parts for my car.
Will post results and prices.

I have reached our production costs, and I am pleased to offer the liners for the E9 for $275 per set, including the 2 bananas.
There is a two week production and prototyping in the first run, so slightly higher costs than eexpected.
If we have many orders, prices might decrease some, as the proto costs have to be defrayed. We are calculating 10 sets.

Right now, we are working on the prototype moulds for the E3 liners, will post results later on.

Regards, Alberto

What is the latest on the wheel well covers? Are they in production?

 

[aguirola]

No, not yet. Too busy finishing the vents, and other bits.

Will have to revise production schedules and deadlines.

Shall report on developments.

Regards, Alberto

Very timely question. I need to have some rear suspension work done. I think it can get done without removing skins. But, even bumping them might cause them to crumble. They are nearly perfect (well, the right one), but they are so, so delicate.

tldr - I was thinking about this thread.

It will be a few months, at least.

Please remember, this is not where I derive my livelihood from,
thus at the risk of not being very formal, please be patient with my many obligations,
where I do derive my livelihood from...

Hello Alberto. Has there been any opportunity to work on the E3 version of these liners?

Regards,
Drew

 

[aguirola]

Hello Drew,

We have been so busy with the vents and the A/C panels that the liners have been put on the backburner.
