Looking really nice.

Just one question.

How can we give that extra gloss to the carbon dash? giving a coat of varnish or there is enough thickness of resin to be polished (If that's possible)?

Thanks

Ps i would love to have a set of front and rear carbon wings... Are you planning to have them made?

Carbon side panels would be cool...Come to think of it carbon everything would be even cooler

Would be interested in Carbon cycle wings

spent untill 10pm in the workshop last night catching up on some orders so had a bit more fun before i went home, didnt come out great but it is a prototype. Epoxy resin is evil

The finished article must weigh less than 50gram, but very stiff. They will require edge trimming though as the edges are very thin. Ive got alot of orders to get through in the next week, so its gonna be a week or two before i get to improve the finish and play with bonnet and arches so watch this space....

Interesting.... Looking good. Will need to find some arches that will fit 225/45/18 on front and 275/45/18 on rear. Think this is something you can do? Heh

My plan was to try and do my whole roadster in carbon so you might just be the man to come to :-)

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.
