Wholesale & Dealer Program

We focus on carbon fibre upgrades for BMW M series, covering both exterior and interior lines.

  • Exterior: front lips, side skirts, engine bay sets, rear diffusers, rear wings/spoilers, fenders, bonnets (hoods), and boot lids (trunks).
  • Interior: steering wheels, centre console trims, and seat protection/upgrades.

Our goal is a premium, instantly high-end look with a deliverable, predictable hand-over. Before you order, we provide a clear ship window and logistics mode. For after-sales, we respond within 12–24 hours of receiving full case information and provide a solution, replacement or return arrangement within 3–5 business days.

Who This Is For

  • Tuning shops, body/paint and wrap studios; regional distributors and independent e-commerce operators.
  • Teams that care about mirror clarity, edge finishing, weave symmetry and hassle-free fitment.
  • Shops that value DDP to door (we can handle customs end-to-end), clear lead times, and direct communication.

QC & Communication

Drawing on past installation cases, we prioritise mature tooling and stable processes, then re-check critical details before dispatch: mirror clarity, even reflectivity, edge finishing, weave symmetry, hole/clip locations and potential interference. We keep the trade-offs transparent in our quotes — tooling (tool-steel vs aluminium), clear-coat environment, surface expectations, cycle time and cost — so you can choose the right balance of budget–finish–lead time.

Materials & Process Principles (Pre-preg Dry Carbon vs Wet Lay-up)

Pre-preg Dry Carbon (Metal Tooling)

Process: Pre-impregnated fibres cured under controlled temperature and pressure (hot press or equivalent). Resin/fibre ratio and cure curve are repeatable, delivering higher dimensional and surface consistency.

Tooling systems:

  • Tool-steel die: high hardness and thermal stability, low CTE and high rigidity. Over long runs it offers the highest fitment ceiling and contour fidelity. Due to the high tooling cost, unit buy-prices are typically higher — ideal for customers who demand top fitment and finish.
    Purchasing note: For large panels and critical exterior pieces (bonnet, boot lid, long aero), tool-steel is the safest path for “bolt-on and right”.
  • Aluminium tooling: fast heat transfer, shorter tool-build time and friendlier cost. Within a well-managed service life, fitment remains very high. Multiple heat cycles and demoulds can introduce very small cumulative shape drift, so long-term tolerances are slightly wider than tool-steel (more noticeable on long/large curvature parts).
    Purchasing note: For small/medium non-safety exterior pieces, high-grade aluminium tools are usually sufficient; use tool-steel for extreme fitment on long parts.

Packing & transport: Pre-preg is less sensitive in transit but still requires proper support. We ship with professional protection by default (foam, corner guards, fixed supports and spec boxes) to minimise shipping damage and secondary deformation.
Purchasing note: Items can go straight to shelf check; store large parts on the provided supports to avoid long-term stress.

Wet Lay-up (Resin/Composite Tooling)

Process: Manual lay-up and on-site resin mixing, ambient/low-temp cure. Resin/fibre ratio, de-aeration and lay-up tension depend heavily on operator skill. Moulds are usually resin/GRP/composites with lower rigidity and thermal stability, limited reuse life and a higher risk of geometry drift.

Market reality: Quality is highly uneven; many makers avoid heavy tooling investment. Achieving stable wet lay-up output requires strict incoming/process checks and long-term supplier screening.
Purchasing note: If budget forces wet lay-up, include installation time and expectation management in the total cost, and prefer validated batches.

Usage advice: For “bolt-on fitment + high mirror consistency”, do not substitute dry with wet — especially for large or long parts (bonnet, boot lid, long skirts).
Purchasing note: Wet lay-up can be fine for small decorative pieces (with clear expectations); large parts should prioritise dry carbon.

Mirror Clear Coat (Climate-Controlled Booth Only)

This finish must be applied in a professional climate-controlled spray booth to achieve repeatable flow, film thickness and cure behaviour. It yields exceptional panel flatness and clarity and can offer heat-activated recovery of micro-marks within reasonable limits (not scratch-proof).
Purchasing note: Best for hero/flagship cars and high-end clients. Longer lead time and higher cost, with standout results on large panels such as bonnets and boot lids.

Build Tiers (quoted with your order)

1) Benchmark Standard — default recommendation

  • Material/Tooling: pre-preg dry carbon. Tool-steel prioritised for large/tight-tolerance pieces; high-grade aluminium for small/medium parts (with life-cycle checks).
  • Use cases: mainstream high-end customers, content/show cars, long-term reputation pieces.
  • Delivery & cost: balanced lead time and unit cost with lower rework risk and higher first-fit rate.

Purchasing note: Choose this when you want certainty and presentation with the lowest after-sales pressure.

2) Value-Optimised — price response option

  • Material/Tooling: still pre-preg dry carbon (we do not downgrade to wet). Savings come from controlled choices in clear-coat environment, QC tolerances and process configuration.
  • Trade-offs: slightly wider tolerance in mirror/reflectivity uniformity and seam/edge finish; installation may require more shop time for fine-tuning.
  • Use cases: promotions, entry builds, price-sensitive orders.
  • Pre-brief: best handled by experienced installers with clear expectation setting for end-customers.

Purchasing note: Use this to control budget without giving up the strength and baseline quality of dry carbon — just account for extra install time.

Note: if price must go lower than dry-carbon viability, we will explicitly quote a wet lay-up option (never mis-labelled), with expected fitment/appearance/installation differences.

3) Signature Custom — high-end custom

  • Material/Finish: pre-preg dry carbon base with mirror clear coat in a climate-controlled booth for maximum flatness and clarity; limited heat-activated micro-mark recovery (not heavy-scratch resistant).
  • Use cases: large panels (bonnets, boot lids) and flagship/hero cars.
  • Delivery & cost: limited capacity, longer lead time, project-based pricing.

Purchasing note: When you want “premium at first sight” and your client will pay for it, this tier is the safest bet.

Fitment Compatibility Reminder

Please confirm any ACC, front camera, 360° camera or radar requirements and bumper/grille variants before ordering. Add version notes in your enquiry if applicable.

Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) to Your Shop

If you choose DDP, our quote spells out all components (e.g., GST/duties, customs clearance and final delivery) with the expected transit window and an exception plan. Alternatively, we can quote DAP/EXW/FOB as you prefer.

How to Choose — quick guide

  • Certainty + presentation first: Benchmark Standard.
  • Heavy price pressure: Value-Optimised (still dry carbon) — budget for extra install time and expectation management.
  • Flagship/high-end clients: Signature Custom, especially for bonnets and boot lids.
  • Extreme budget but must ship: we can quote wet lay-up with clear labelling; not advised for large/long parts.

After-Sales & Timing (summary)

  • Response: 12–24 hours after full case information is received.
  • Resolution: solution or replacement/return arrangement within 3–5 business days.
  • Evidence for logistics/appearance issues: outer box, inner protection, close-ups, and label/batch sticker photos.
  • Post-install issues: assessed as functional defects (please provide fitment/interference photos or video).

Policy Highlights

  • MAP: minimum advertised price must be respected; violations may suspend supply and revoke rebates.
  • RMA/SLA: 12–24 h response after full information; 3–5 business days for a resolution. Appearance/logistics damage requires prompt evidence; post-install claims follow functional-defect criteria.
  • Delivery & taxes: DDP to door or DAP/EXW/FOB on request; duties/GST/clearance and timing are defined in the quote.
  • Asset use: media assets are for your own channels and sales only.

FAQs

What’s the core difference between your Value-Optimised tier and typical low-price wet lay-up?

Our Value-Optimised parts are still pre-preg dry carbon. Savings come from controlled choices in clear-coat environment, QC tolerance and process configuration. Many low-price parts in the market are wet lay-up, which diverge in fitment repeatability, panel flatness and long-term stability.


If my budget is limited, will you offer wet lay-up? Will you ever mis-label wet as dry?

In extreme budget cases we can quote a clearly labelled wet lay-up option and outline expected differences in fitment/appearance/installation time. We never mis-label wet as dry.


How do I choose between tool-steel and aluminium tooling?

For large/long parts and critical exterior pieces (bonnet, boot lid, long skirts), choose tool-steel to hit the highest fitment ceiling. For small/medium non-safety exterior pieces, high-grade aluminium is usually sufficient when service life is managed.


Mirror clear coat vs “regular” clear?

Mirror clear coat must be applied in a climate-controlled spray booth to deliver repeatable flow and film build, producing exceptional flatness and clarity. It can recover micro-marks with heat within limits (not heavy-scratch proof). Best used on large panels and hero builds.


How do you reduce shipping damage or secondary deformation?

We ship with professional protection by default (foam, corner guards, fixed supports and spec boxes). Store large parts using the provided supports to avoid long-term stress.


DDP vs DAP/EXW/FOB — what should I pick?

Choose DDP if you want customs handled end-to-end (GST/duties, clearance, delivery) with a defined time window. Pick DAP/EXW/FOB if you prefer to control duties/clearance yourself; we’ll provide side-by-side quotes.


Can I run a sample or small mixed batch first?

Yes. We support samples or small mixed batches to validate on-car fitment and sell-through before moving to long-term purchasing and settlement upgrades.


Where are the after-sales boundaries?

Provide full evidence promptly for appearance/logistics issues. Post-installation claims are assessed as functional defects (show the interference/fitment points). We respond in 12–24 h and provide a solution within 3–5 business days.
