rtbiscuit Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 i'm going to be selling my carbon skinned B pillars soon as i want to match them in with other DI-noc stuff i have. these aren't stick on covers so won't fly off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketch Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 i bought some of the carbon vynal from cfoster for £8, more than enought to wrap the B pillar plastis, its crazy how easy it is to do, well worth giving it a go youself and cheaper than buying real carbon ones, especially considering how easy they are to take off and nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Yo Sparky Which one do you have left as my mine flew off at the weekend as well Cant believe it !!! Mine were not a great fit tbh and im not bothered if I don't have any more carbon fibre on my car ever again as I have fallen out with the stuff. But.... I used so much friggin double sided tape all fricking over the dam B pillars that it took me 4 damn hours to peel it off while in soak... I missed Britains got Talent final and got ear ache all night from the missus as I wasnt helping out with the baby.... I tell you what I was so so bloody hacked off you wouldnt believe.... To top it all off the B pillars have lost there shine and look crap now..... really dissapointed but the only thing I can think to do is get another cover to hide them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny 350Z Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Sorry, I shouldn't laugh but I can just picture it flying off at 90mph on the motorway and the 1 second inevitable crazy thought of 'Shall I pull onto the hard shoulder to retrieve it'.

Flat them with 0000 steel wool and laquer with Halfrauds laq. It works. Mine flew off and after getting the tape off looked gash.So did the above,sorted.

I did laquer them at the weekend and they are slightly improved. I will try the wool I guess... the whole process has been one costly time consuming mistake unfortunatley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
