From first minute that i bought my car, i wanted to have carbon fibre mirrors.
So i start a project.
First i made split mould
and than wet layup and vacuum-bag
after quick edges trim, test if if fits.
Than some sending and resin layer and more sending and polishing.
But i think it turned out great
Now the second one is waiting to be layed in mould.

You've done very well to wet lay spread-tow! I have a love hate relationship with spread-tow. I love it's appearance and mechanical qualities, but I hate handling it!
