I am looking at making a carbon fibre engine cover for my car.

Although the standard car comes with a metallic cover, after market carbon fibre ones are available but very expensive.

Just wondered if I could get some general advice on the best way to go and which process means I wont damage the existing cover if used as a template.

I've attached a pic to help show the size and profile.

From looking at the general tutuiral videos and the shape of the engine cover it looks like a 'relatively' simple shape, but just want to ensure I dont go down the wrong path.

Any information would be appreciated.

Regards,

Lenny
