Not sure if this is the correct section so please move if need be.
Up until last week I never even held a piece of carbon or kevlar cloth
until I undertook this massive project.
The plan is to make a complete wide arch bodykit for a 106 Maxi rally car and it had
to be kevlar as per the genuine Peugeot sport item.
I sourced a set of moulds, got all my material from Easy Composites and jumped in feet first.
I did it all hand lay up, 1 layer of 300g kevlar, 2 diolen and a final 300g kevlar.
I'm more than delighted with the results, a few dry spots but its going to be painted anyway so I can fill the low spots.

Hey Stuart,
I'm actually going to make 2 wings and front bumper from Carbon Kevlar for a bit
more strength, I will add extra patches/layers to the lower corners of the front
bumper and places like that where it will get hit hard.
Your a lucky man to have a Lotus Sunbeam.
