Hi Cristian!

I've had experience with this, unfortunately i can't share the code 
since it's very customized, but I can tell you what's the logic behind it.

You create a table (bundles) containing 2 columns

sku | bundle_sku

Then you add bundles as normal products in products table. If you want 
to create prices automatically, you can write a simple IC job to do it, 
otherwise you enter them manually. On the flypage, you can then display 
what this bundle is made of etc.

I hope it helps! If you need more info, feel free to ask.

Regards,
jure
