Carbon fibre goodies!

I just thought I'd share a pic of these, they for my 911, the bits that cover the prop tunnel just in front of the rear seats! I've got a few other bits coming too!

They would pass for £400 pieces of autoclave carbon, but It's actually not real, but 3D textured weave 3M Di-noc film. Awesome stuff!

Take a look at the application process if you're interested.

Have about 4 rolls of this stiff. Thinking about doing the cally centre console. We will see what happens.

If done right can look fantastic.

Use the 3M primer if you do, otherwise it's not easy to do the curves properly

Don't need 3M primer, just use a hair-dryer to warm it up :)

I think the manufacturer knows best 8) 3M recommends primer only for joins, edges, deep recesses and surfaces that offer low adhesion such as walls or where the application is to be permanent.

3M WP-3000 is best for this as it is water based and safe for use on plastic and painted surfaces. The primer increases longevity and reduces chances of shrinkage.

BMW/Vdub/Audi and loads of other boys have been doing this for a few years now without using primer and never had any problems. I have interior trim done two years ago and still looks like new !
