i hope he paints all that carbon, as at the moment it looks pretty shit with all that weave everywhere!

This is FORD country, on a quiet day you can hear Vauxhalls rusting.

Yeah its a pretty cool car, are ppl being sarcastic about it going milky or what? As i bought curley carbon mig arches from minispeed and im fucking pissed off with them, chunks out of the resin and went cloudy after 2 months.

Its a cool car the dash is pretty impressive but you can always make things lighter by not having them there at all! I dont think ill have a dash hmmm.

Is it the sun that makes it "cloudy"? I know when using bad qaulity epoxi/poly you get "piss yellow" after a while out in the sun…but that couldn´t be the case here i guess!

Looks quite impressive. I wonder what the weight of this car will be?

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

It's a one off for the car but I guess they might produce variants in the future.

Looks like somebody has cocked up TMf's database. Some lovely SQL errors when trying to log in.

What a shame....

Curley and most carbon stuff for minis goes milky because the maufacturers don't use UV protected resin. Carbonwezel stuff is all UV protected though so it won't look shite after a while

Kind of right Andy *tongue* - i ordered some stuff from TDK a while ago, A just before christmas ordered some parts from Nick/Ben at Carbon Weezel - Estimated delivery is end of Feb.

Can't wait if i'm honest, hopfully their quality is as good as it looks in the pics.

I'll be sure to report back once i have received my order *wink*
