Hi. Quite new to composites, dabbled about a bit done lots of research online and bought some books, but after a couple failed moulding attempts I've decided to try a simpler project and reach out for help!
Front winglets seem to me a simple project to make.
 looking at making a pair similar to what's in the picture. I could get my hands on a pair of ali ones to take a mould from. I plan on taking moulds using the Uni mould kit. Need advice on how to get both sides cosmeticly pleasing. Mould of each face and bond together with foam core? Split mould designed to be a closed mould and used to compress the CF producing one piece straight from the mould? Just need advice on this before I start making the mould as would affect the design.
Many thanks

That will make the mould neater but the overhang wouldn't cause a problem. Ideally the bend radius should be smaller for the inner sheet, so maybe use 5mm plate for outer mould and 3mm for the inner. However, the difference is so small it probably won't be an issue.
