Noz Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I still dont under why you would get such a rare item, and cut and spray it? Surely you could still mould it without spraying and cutting it. Just mask up the CF, the carbon fibre look on actual products is nice IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallis Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Why would you cut and fill them? To smooth them in? I think you have got a little confused fella! The over fenders are all the same shape, so u have to cut each one around for example the rear bumper or spat ! Same for the front you have to cut the shape for your skirts or body. I have no intention of painting or blending anything mate, for the exact reasons you just said... I love the carbon fibre on silver cars ;-) I'll have no problem with cutting them and shaping them, I had my own bodyshop for 10 years ;-) Just never cut it before that's why I asked, done hundreds of fibre glass kits etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallis Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 i wouldnt bother they shouldnt be the same [ATTACH=CONFIG]154261[/ATTACH] Yeah the normal ones are different, but it does even say on the veilside website the cf ones need to be shaped?

ashbuster Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 you wouldnt be saving much weight tho bud and you wont have the cf look if painted to be honest im not sure why they would be any different to those ones, surely they could use the same mold but use cf instead of fiberglass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Ah I see, my mistake, must of mis-read your post mate. I would of thought if you cut the carbon fibre but introduced resin into the areas of damage you wouldn't have a problem. That's how I attack fibreglass when I cut it, I would of thought it's a similar process for CF to put the strength back into it as your damage the resin when cutting it. Mitchell may know? I always ask him when I have an odd question google just can't answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
