Hello.




I would like to replicate some headlight out covers for my Renault 5 gt turbo,

the covers are for the morrette headlights which are now no longer found in good condition or even sold due to morrette going bust.




but I found a near mint set.




So I would like to cover the covers and make them in carbon via resin infusion and vacuum bagging




this is a picture of what I am contending with.

I'm thinking because I don't want to risk damaging the covers I have,

should I make a silicone mould In a wood side box of the outers covers, front face upwards and use clay to seal off the bottom edges on an abs board and then blank the headlight lense holes with clay and abs sheet?




Then cast a hard resin into the silicone mould and use the cast resin item for laying the carbon over and then vacuum bagging as it could be used over and over again?

This is my first time doing this and think I have the right methods?
