Simple really just wanting people's opinions which one to buy from ?

Curleys seem cheaper ( but is it cheaper for a reason ? )

Arc angels is more expensive but are the products better ?

Any help will be really helpful


Cheers Adam

I'd avoid both to be honest. I've seen peoples curley products go milky over time in the sun, arc angels products are ok but I wouldn't say much more than that.

I've got carbon bumpers from arc angels, they took weeks to come, couldn't get through to them on the phone - Their service is terrible. When they arrived, like I say they're OK, but look closely and the carbon is see through its so thin, the lacquer is so thin that it barely covers the carbon and on the back of them its just a thick gel coat. So while they're much lighter than chrome bumpers, they're no lighter than fibreglass bumpers.

I'd recommend carbon weezel for carbon stuff and ABS motorsport.

Cheers guys will take a look now it's the carbon products I'm after :) so glad I asked now as ordering a carbon front tomorrow as it's payday :) and I will finally have enough for arc angels option 3 carbon front but if there products are only "ok" I will spend my hard earned cash somewhere else :)

ive had a few bits from arc angels its good stuff i live not to far away so went there in person but heard they can be slow to send stuff

[mini93]

The stuff iv seen from curley are good, it was ages ago they had problems of the milkey resin. heard reports its sorted and fine now.
especialy if your looking at roof. some of the roofs from elsewhere require you to manipulate the old roof edges to fit the carbon over the top. curleys sit right over the edge with no problem

If you want miglia arches buy the Curley, all the rest are not the right length.

Is this for your Vtec turbo mate ? If it is, are you sure it will fit with the new engine. Best to check before you spend that much money.

Cheers guys and Elliott I have been told if I buy the allspeed subframe normal panels will fit and won't need to extend the front just means turbo sticks out of front grill slightly lol

I have an arc angels option 3 roof and bootlid on mine and i am very happy with the quality of the products. The weave is even all across, the roof is made bigger to ensure it fits and the laquer is well coated. Only down side is the wait in my opinion. Abs motorsport on the other hand, ive had a carbon grill with poor design and laquer and fbglass miglia arches that had several cracks in them so not too impressed.

Carbon weezel are the best but the price is quite abit higher than other companies, as people have said.

I got a pair of black gel coat fibreglass bumpers from arc angels, they sent me white so I had to send them back (they paid the postage and turned them around pretty quickly), they were fine when they arrived. Not had any carbon stuff off them though.

[Pickering]

So it mixed opinions regarding arc angels then lol went on to carbon Weezel today and there carbon front in not currently available will phone them tomorrow and order one :)

[mangotango]

well i ordered fiberglass arches and paid an extra £5.....it came in 2 days....did any of you ask about fast delivery lol!

[spaceframemini]

All the carbon panels ( front end, bonnet, doors, roof, arches, boot and boot floor ) on my car were from curley and I was pleased with the fit and service
