Carbon fibre
Re: Carbon fibre
I reckon an undertray, even in chopped strand and black gel would get quite a few takers.

Re: Carbon fibre
Wes and I have already spoken about this and first impression we’re that it would be mega expensive. However that doesn’t mean we can’t take it further.
Let’s get this GB out of the way and look at the idea in the new year.
Re: Carbon fibre
Ducts are in the budget for next year, but if this is the place for ideas here's a couple:
Paddle shifters
PS reservoir cover
Grille surrounds
Mirror caps

Re: Carbon fibre
I need to clean up the engine bay a bit - but it's the wrong time of year.
However, have just spent the day servicing it all:
* Oil+Filter
* Gearbox Oil+Filter
* Air Filters
* Cabin Filters
* Both front upper arms
* Both front roll bar drop links
* New NGK plugs
* New N249
And while I was at it, fitted the carbon air intake guides. What do you guys think?

Re: Carbon fibre
It look phenomenal and the way he managed to get the weave to match the standard weave was a big challenge but we succeeded the carbon intakes should have come as standard because it makes the engine bay look 100x better.Mɐʇʇ wrote: ↑Sun Feb 19, 2023 8:19 pmI need to clean up the engine bay a bit - but it's the wrong time of year.

Re: Carbon fibre
Yeah, I reckon they're really nice, substantially better than the OE silver ones.

Re: Carbon fibre
Look great Mɐʇʇ. Did you drill to allow refitting of the two hex screws on the slam panel?Mɐʇʇ wrote: ↑Sun Feb 19, 2023 8:19 pmI need to clean up the engine bay a bit - but it's the wrong time of year.

Re: Carbon fibre
Yes, and a new pair of clips to replace the rusty old ones.

Re: Carbon fibre
Nice job Matt.
I presume you have drilled two holes through the carbon fibre and used the clips to hold the intakes in place.
