Progress, got my wheels and working on the inside

Got my wheels this week and now working on the inside, using CF to make the inside panels and got some nice black leather from ebay for the dash.I think I will combine the carbon with the leather..

It's real carbon, I laminated it using epoxy, only 1 layer for the looks.
Then I glued it to 1,5 mm Alu.

I got it from a good friend, he has a company that makes carbon cones for the car and aircraft industry.

It isn't that easy working with real carbon fibre, first I wanted to do the hole interior of the car.But not having the right tools, I think I do a combo with leather(alot cheaper)
