P15UL T Posted April 30, 2009 Author Posted April 30, 2009 Think I'll be in the list after Wales! Whats the finish like? It looks like unlaquered CF, is that what it looks like in real life? I like the idea of a carbon dash but dont want it to be shiney. Guess I will find out at Wales hi Chris, the finish has a satin sheen to it, not glossy like the laquared carbon you get heres a picture of the dash done (not my own work but using the same material) Quote

rtbiscuit Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 that looks great mate, do you reckon its possible to do the door pocket things with the window controls on, as mine are scratched to buggery. thats the only reason i want to cover parts of the interior, same with the steering wheel controls also got scratches on, i think the previous owner was a bobcat. might also need the centrew console doing as i have a new cubby on the way and i fear it might be a different colour. so prices on those bits would be great Quote
Stew Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 What does this stuff 'feel' like Paul? Just sussing out if I will rethink plans of glossy black parts! Quote
JT1703 Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Paul you have a PM Hopefully I'll see you at the Glasgow meet at the end of May .... you may well find that you're going home with a few bits of my interior to "carbonize" afterwards !! Quote

Is the finish textured or smooth? Sorry hard to tell from the pic. Looks the nutts though. Probably get the centre console covered and maybe the bit over the transmission tunnel (armrest bit). Reckon you could do that? Will get some other bits flocked and it will look the nutts So reckon you can do my lights and that at the hoon on a night? Quote

If you could do those paul, on the same basis as the cover (i.e. a few quid and then send the old ones to you i would go for that straight off). Quote
M350ZB Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Hope your going to wales paul to see some of these items in flesh Quote
P15UL T Posted May 1, 2009 Author Posted May 1, 2009 hi guys, well this has proven very popular to try and answer as many questions as i can i will be able to do most of the interior parts, i have done the bottom of the doors cards and found due to the complexity of curves and contures that its requires a couple of joins, one is inside the pocket and isnt reall noticable and the other is at the bottom on the underside and agin isnt really noticable. i would say the material is slightly textured yes i am hoping to get to wales and the scottish meet but the car is in the body shop getting some surgery and will hopefully be ready in time i have around 10 strut bar covers coming my way and also a piece of dash, so i think that will take up most of my stock of material, i will order some more this week end and will be good to go again for more orders the week after pm me for anymore details and i will try my best and get a individual price list of parts up over the weekend cheers Paul Quote
M350ZB Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Sounds good, well put me down for one, let us know when you get more stock in Quote
M350ZB Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Cant wait to see the other products your gonna do Paul , and i look forward to hearing from you very soon bud .. Quote
BulletMagnet Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 What is the wear & tear factor on this material? How does it react to prolonged exposure to sunlight? Does it fray easily when it's nicked by something, i.e. keys, change, etc.? Thanks Quote
