Carbon fibre2?
Carbon fibre2?


Nope! 3M Di-Noc with 2 coats of Acrylic lacquer, I'm a bit impressed, the most convincing vinyl I have seen

Imagine how much lighter it would have been if you left the vinyl off

Actually, yes I'm very impressed, certainly looks real to me.

Sorry to hijack your thread, but were can i get the plastic thingys the csk screws are into, as to prevent damage to the carbon area (in my case plastic)

very smart, looks excellent

I have a link somewhere to a project on a custom bike forum, the guy has used this, its certainly not cheap, but his work shows how good it can look and how capable the product is

covered tanks, mudguards etc on a BMW bike, the result is extremely good

but the cost is not so nice

love this stuff, really considering doing a few bits on my indy in it to cover up a couple of hairline cracks in the grp

The 2 end pieces are access panels, the drivers side to give easy access to pedals, wiring etc; The passenger side gives access to the reverse motor battery. the bike battery will sit on the centre section.

Prices have tumbled since it found it's way onto ebay, the cost of that piece cost £14, about 1/5th of the cost of carbon fibre sheet Linky

Interesting! My friends car is covered in that stuff and it's extremely convincing.

I'm halfway through a carbon mods skinning kit on my tin top grille right now, it's not looking so good at the moment though I'll post my results later/tomorrow when it's done

Please tell us that it looks fab. I have some CF cloth on order, and am going to follow the CM vid to do my nosecone to cover some cracks. I don't want to do all that work and have it look like poo!!!

Is this what you would call a 'back - up battery?'
