a sensible question ?

Ok as there is a wealth of knowledge on here and you all seem to be sensible people - I have a quick question...years ago we used to sell a few fibreglass vw parts, pre 67 bonnets, aronson style decklids ( inc 67 only) eyebrow decklids etc..Unfortunately our fibreglass guy had some sort of "problem" and decided to throw away all our moulds
Now we are 10 years down the line but, I feel that it may be worth us making some new moulds and producing a few parts again..personally I feel that the demand would be greater now than before and we already have a few ideas for some "new" parts, what would you folks like to see available again?

Top quality fenders!
I don't know if somebody already made them, but it's quite hard to find good fenders

Thanks for the feed back folks, we have already discussed doors and 68 on aronson style along with 67's, we are also thinking about panels to fit over the "sills" if you remove your running boards..@ Speedwell - 97 - it seems like only yesterday

Hi Simon,
As Day Mouldings already do wings, it seems like there's not much point doing them in standard sizes. Wider rears like you did for Bernie and Woodentop might be a good idea for the racers though. I'm not sure of the demand for flared wings, there are so many variables like size, headlamp style etc. Decklids in Aronson and Empi styles would be good, and I seem to remember you doing a couple of variations on the scoops too, unless my brain is a bit foggy at the end of the week!
The items I think would sell best would be both early and late bonnets, closely followed by doors. Those are the panels that I've found most difficult to get decent ones for a reasonable cost, as bonnets always seem to be dented and doors all seem to be rotten!
