I was tempted, I have a lot of CF on the interior but decided that is where it will stay, not going to put any exterior bits on.

 

Trouble is where do you stop?

 

If you put the Mirror covers and pillar covers then the door handles will look odd...

What about using a CF wrap?

 

Not seen any in the flesh myself but it looks pretty good in the pics and it will definitely be a good fit.

 

Few traders on here who do it I think.

 

never thought of the wrap to be honest, i ve made the lad a offer for the pair on the sale board going to see what there like, thats if he accepts like. but thanks for the idea bud

thats the dogs, and something that could be massive especially with interior plastics etc never seen anything like that before would like to have a closer look at the finish, printing technolgy seems to have come on so much over the last couple of years, you seen that 3d printing thats really cool to. whats it like price wise?? just out of intrest.

i have some parts that are ready for dipping, was meant to this weekend, but i am still ill and had other work on, so hopefully will dip this weekend, and then laquer next week. will get pics up as and when i can.

 

price wise it should be cheaper than the real carbon fibre stuff, but a little more than wrapping. but the advantage over wrapping is there are no edges or joins and should give the appearance of being real carbon.
