Ive abandoned trying to do the aeroscreen, as its damn near impossible to push the fabric into the tight angle at the bottom, without distorting the weave too much, and the vac bag doesnt pull in tight enough either, so il have to make a new mould to do the aeroscreen. That might be one for the mx5 build later on.

Ive got dashboards and cycle wings down to a fine art now though. The edges of the dash and cycle wings can be done in any color. I really wanted to try some side panels for my own car, but iv been too wimpy about wasting expensive cloth and epoxy!, just in case i bugger it up, but im gonna give it a go now iv been commissioned to make a set for the teamtrain car.

Heres a couple of pics of the dash and cycle wings, iv now worked out how to effectively mask the gel, so i can put in any sort of pattern/striping.
