I may have to get a starter kit, ive had some carbon cloth floating around for years, but never got round to making anything. I think some carbon interior parts would look nice

I'd love to skin my roof, but just too pricey

just bought a kit....

Paid another £4 and got the profinish carbon though - supposed to give a better finish with a more accurate pattern as it's impregnated with resin on the rear so it holds the weave in place.

Yes, as I said, I have a roll of black profinish but have yet to try it. The aluminium carbon fibre was not available in the profinish unfortunately, but I doubt if it would have made a difference in the skinning of my component.

For £4 extra though, it's gotta be worth it just in case Smile

Now to figure out what to skin! Looking forward to trying it!
