1M Carbon parts

[Mark CSL]

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

[Mark CSL]

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.

[Mark CSL]

More coats for resin then trim the excess carbon sand the parts down and more resin.

[Mark CSL]

Another coat of resin then sand down again with 800grit wet and dry.
(No finger prints left) :bigcry:

[Mark CSL]

Then its time for the 2k clear.

[Mark CSL]

Snading agin this time 1500 grit then 2000 grit and polish and install
Just the ashtray gear surround and the cic trim :thumbs:

Is it not slow enough without adding more weight :thumbs:

[CSLManual]

not that I don't approve of your handiwork, you've already helped me out once... but covering things in carbon to look like carbon and hence making them heavier kind of goes against the point of carbon does it not? I used to give the Noble guys hell when they had things dipped... I'd feel bad if I didn't at least mention it once.

Then again, it can't be that much extra weight just covering a bit of trim. Looks good :thumbs:
