yeah ive seen a few videos of it so im going to have a crack at it go to be worth a try hasnt it lol , will do once its done might even have a crack at my wing mirrors too
haha yep carbon mods they make it look so easy lol i have had loads of experience with fibre glass so cant be much different can it looks the same sort of idea
haha yea tell me about it!!
im not sure, the fiberglass sheet ive used in the past if very stiff so its quite easy to handle, carbon fibre on the other hand is like silk!! its so light and flexible and as im guessing your only going to be using a single layer your gonna have to be really careful not to disturb the weave (which is really easy to do)
when i was on carbon mods site i noticed they do a 3M backed carbon fibre sheet, which will support the weave and stop its moving which i was more tempted to go for when i skim my interior parts and then get the resins separate to get the finish i want

well i'll soon know whats its like to work with lol, yeah i was looking at that sheeting too
i like the idea of going over the product with laquer to finish it off might try a bit of my carbon wrap with some on it lol

haha it does look good stuff, but the PIA is the only sheet big enough to wrap the parts is wayyy to big and so really expensive!
ull have to get some pics up as wanna see what it looks like
but doing skimming should be easier then what i did as i did the mould thing... and its a bitch to release it from the mould!

yeah its not cheap is it , i couldn.t do the mould if i was doing it all the time then yeah but as its only a few bits its not worth the extra money in my opinion
na deff not, i only did the mould for a uni project... never again tho haha
the only bit that worries me with the skimming, is on the gear stick surround, where u have the bit of metal that divides the piano black and the gaiter, can see that being really fiddly to get right... unless you cover its totally, but id want to keep the metal part

yea thats the one, can see it being a right nightmare, which is why i was thinking of the 3M backed weave
there is an american guy that does it with normal weave oCarbon - carbon fiber products and his results are fantastic... but its not cheap! may just email him and ask him how he does it lol

i like the look of that a3 very nice indeed is it my eyes or has it got black/red carbon it looks awesome but yeah not cheap i would rather have a go myself first then if it doesnt work then pay someone to do it for me
yea he does, he does a few different color combo, but think u can get different coloured stuff from carbon mods?
yea £300 is a bit a bit rich for my blood, def worth giving it the DIY bash when its gonna be like a 6th of the cost lol

Cheers Ash, those look good as a teaser, care to share the rest?
Would make sense to get them done together, plus I'm sure there's a few on here that might fancy them, could have few 'Audi-Sport' ones then as a group
