    Then again, it can't be that much extra weight just covering a bit of trim. Looks good :thumbs:
    Its for the look its not about saving waight it looks a lot better than black plastic:whistle:

    After the resin goes tacky around 4 hours the carbon is put on and then the parts are put in a vacuum bag for another 6 hours.
    Then they are taken out the vacuum bag.

    started a topic 1M Carbon parts

    1M Carbon parts

    Well the 1M was needing a little Carbon just so i could feel at home
    :whistle:

    Radio and Aircon panel

    Got new trims from bmw as they are cheap and that way i can put the car back to standard if or when i sell it.

    Sanded the trims then the resin went on
