We have been thinking about how to replicate at least the "look" of the fabric.  We thought that making a 2 part closed mould or wet laid/vacuum bagged and a paste with the cut carbon wouldn't necessarily give the desired cosmetic effect, it would likely be too "black". So we think another approach would be to lay up some resin in the mould as a thin gelcoat to the tacky but firm stage and apply a layer of the chopped fibres that way, then layup from there.  You could skip the gelcoat and use hair spray or a spray tack to stabilise the fibres on the mould surface and see how that pans out. 

Could certainly give a different "look" to the parts if you can find the right balance to give the right cosmetic effect.
