Hey guys, here is a picture of a car interior air vent which I would like to skin in carbon fibre and the second picture is of a completed carbon fibre skinned part.  I have vacuum bag and resin infusion materials available aswell as the usual coating resin for hand layup.

The slatted vent section is removable so I just need to cover the grey part in carbon fibre.

What would you suggest as being the best method to cover this part in carbon fibre?

I am familiar with the various methods available so I don't need step-by-step instructions but I would appreciate some suggestions on how the more experienced members might go about doing it.

for example
Option 1) create a mould of this front face of the part and use that for resin infusion creating a layer of carbon fibre which could then have self adhesive applied and stuck to the original air vent
Option 2) regular hand layup 'skinning' of carbon fibre over the part

Thank you in advance for your feedback.
