From the sounds of it they are for race use only.

There has been some progress but it has been slow as it needs a whole heap of money chucked at it to get it off the ground. :(

Not just yet for various reasons, but nothing readily available.

Just looking at this again, trying to work out whether it's worthwhile doing or not. A mate has done similar with the Elise and has sold enough to make it worthwhile but I'm not entirely sure the demand is there for the VX? The cost of making the moulds is not inconsiderable and I would probably need to sell 6x front clams and 6x rear clams @ £650+ each to actually break even. Your thoughts?

crack on with the front clams as they are the ones most in demand and in least supply, when you have broken even on that then plough some profit from subsequent sales into making a rear clam imo
