Hi guys!

My friend is building 400+ HP Alfa 156 and wants carbon fibre bonnet, but in Czech republic is impossible to find larger carbon fabric than 1,2m wide and that's not enough.
So I want to ask you. What's the best way to made some big parts? Is it possible to connect 2 fabrics together in a center of part with some good looking finish? Or It's better to buy wider fabric and pay a lot of money for shipping from UK to Czech republic? That car is really low budget (car,engine and upgrades are less than 3000 gbp) and the prize is very important, but I want to make parts good looking too.

Thanks for your replies

you wouldn't believe how many 'professional jobs' Ive seen that have used masking tape in prepreg layups!! shocking.
I should have stated when I said you can use tape, do not use masking tape! Ive heard of many a layup going up in smoke cause of the stuff!
Good tip on the plasterboard mesh tape Paul, will buy some of that and give it a try at work.
