WTD - C/F Effect Offcuts
Dick Axtell - 5/9/12 at 03:49 PM

As per title, but has to be 610mm long at least, and min 40mm wide. Have already browsed the Bay, and most offered there seem to be too big (i.e too much wastage).

Thanks loggyboy, and snakebelly.

Loggyboy - vinyl wrap won't fit the bill. I need some trim to cover cockpit side rails, in prep for the IVA test.

Snakebelly - will U2U in due course, 'cos the plastic rigid stuff would fit the bill. Hope it can be heat moulded to fit.

I used ally cope moulding, covered in di-noc vinyl.

Thanks for that suggestion. Will keep it in mind.

I'm looking for the same stuff.
I'm sure I have seen some carbon ones somewhere but plan B looks to be the cope moulding covered in the carbon wrap.

Which size moulding did you go for 40, did it need to cover poprivets on the top of the side panels?

No2 for the flat section, and 9 for the curved bit. I bonded the side panels on, so no rivets, but for a few that are countersunk.

No, I have panelled the inside with ally and Horse Box lining, so fits just right. No11 as an option?

No9 over wheel arch and No11 across back, behind seats, painted satin black.
