carbon fibre idea

I am quite well in with the guys who make F1 parts.
I am thinking of adding some more carbon fibre bits, and they would make what I wanted.
How about carbon fibre front struts on the front apron.
The more I get made the cheaper they will be. Why not come up with some ideas and post them. I am getting quite excited about it, and I could get
as many sets made as people need. Also in a months time all the parts
will be cheaper as this would be there quiet time.
Gentlemen, your ideas please!

+1 for Rear Diffuser. I will also be interested in any carbon fiber parts that will net my SL some weight savings

also how about a carbon bumper that replicates the f1 safety car's bumper?

O.K. guys, on Tuesday, we are closed for Easter, I will go over there and
get some idea on prices. They will need to make moulds, that's the
expensive bit, after that the price for the bits should be quite reasonable.
The bigger and more sophisticated the bit, the more it will cost, so it might
be worth getting sometning easy done first. I like the carbon on the side
of my front apron, and as long as there is a dentation for it that would be
very cheap to make, unless MB have got some copywrite on it.
I'll see Tuesday, meanwhile keep the ideas coming.
