As above - anyone had a go?

nope if i could find a good enough guide how to i would definatly have a go

Do we mean proper carbon fibre skinning or CF look (I've seen some good looking copies)?

I think theres a place around Peterborough that will do the latter quite cheaply.

I well either really. I was looking on Carbon Mods site and they do a kit and seem to have some reasonable guides.

Well once my car is running well (which it really isn't at the moment) I'm getting my roof wrapped. My friend has his dark met blue mk2 golf champ car's roof wrapped in carbon look foil and it looks pretty sweet Not so sure about it on a broom yellow coop though..

where can u get decent looking CF 'look' skins ??

you dont you make them with the cloth etc as far as i know. . . .

not a clue!

Pretty sure you have to make the skins yourself by laying over some CF cloth on the bits you want doing (instead of making moulds etc).

There is a dude on here who has done it (and not that long ago either) but he did it as a one off

Google carbon mods. They sell the kits and have a vid which shows you how to do it.

Are you getting the coupe done? I am not sure how it would look TBH. The problem in my eyes is that there is no defined end to roof on the C pillars...

Ohhhh i reckon itll look sweet.

If id have kept the coop it woulda had a black roof by now

Neither is there one on the Audi TT's, but it still look good IMO. Will have to see

you could always try the cheap and chearful way.

I have seen this done alot now and because most people assume that when they look at something in carbon fibre effect they believe it is carbon fibre.

I used to work at a sign company, they never used it as its not called for, but they did have various samples which i managed to get my hands on.

This is the link to the manufacture's website.

I think you need a trade account to buy it but you should be able to get it from any good signage company.

This maybe the option for you as you're not to sure what you want, at least this way you can see what you like then trim and shape it to suit, without the expense.

just an option

I've done some real carbon fibre skinning, its really like doing thick fibre glass only you have to make sure the prep work is spot on and I'd reccomend getting a heat gun to get rid of any air bubbles, I've done a centre console for my MG and the air vents, going to do the centre tunnel soon and possibly make some new door cards, after lay up give it a nice top coat of resin and you can sand this down to glass like smoothness then,

If you need any advice I'll try my best to help but I'm no expert just a keen amateur.

I may be persuaded to make a mould for these and do them properly once i have finished my LED mirror strips project if there is interest.

a nice 16vt console would be nice.

there is a prject me and same spoke about and that was the headlights the black inserts changing to carbon which i think would look very nice

i could do a mould but i have no were with the correct conditions to make a mould or a oven big enough to make carbon copies
