Hi All,
My name is Andrew, I am in my late 20s/early 30s and I first got into composites in mid-late 2011 when I purchased some vacuum bagging equipment and CF cloth from easy composites and carbon mods in an effort to emulate a carbon fibre ashtray cover for my Audi R8 which I had seen for sale on a US forum. Unfortunately my early attempts did not prove successful so I resorted to just purchasing the ready made carbon fibre ashtray cover from that very same US-based retailer.
Now, a little over 2 years later, I have decided to dust off the vacuum pump and associated ancillaries in an effort to skin various car parts in carbon fibre.
This is what I am aiming for:
Please note that the following pictures are parts I have seen and hope to emulate, these are not pictures of my attempts.
MMI (SATNAV) Screen surround
Drivers side airvent surround
Dash trim
Door trims
