GT_SEB0 Unregistered G	you have 2 options prepreg which involves using either a auto-clave or a vacuum and a oven the lighter option depending on the grade of CF used anything from 200-500 wet lay up CF the heavier option around 200+ carbon aint cheap or for the yellow coupe owners i would go for kevlar its the same price as CF but its yellow CF https://www.ragingspeed.co.uk/catalog/images/Real-Carbon-Fibre.jpg KEVLAR http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/attachm...pics-kevlar.jpg

owl10 Unregistered O	cant wait to see what they look like fitted. i really really like the idea of this, but dont know if i would do it, because i love the coulour of my car (sprinty, the best coulour... $\:P$ ) and like the fact this is represented in the cabin. i think the grass would always be greener, in that if i fitted carbon ones i'd miss the blue too much, then refit the originals and want the carbon ones back!

Yeah that`s exactly what my problem would be with them,the carbon fibre looks great but the sprint blue really brightens up the dash and sets it apart from other cars . Baz $\:\)$ Project LE+
