Butting matierial up by hand is good for the DIY admittadly but getting it out of line is easier then actually getting it right lol
You can actually get chevron matierial from manufacturers. I use it at work when building Noble shells.

hi what technique did you use for getting that V pattern when joining the two pieces, i have been thinking of doing that but i have no idea of how to go about it. any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Hi
To get the V you just re-orientate half the cloth, ie flip it over so the back becomes the front and make sure one over laps the other so you don't get a gap. I never bother trying to match the dark/light pattern and nobody has noticed yet!

I've done the SRi roof spoiler and tailgate handle, next job is the bonnet then that's it for standard parts. I also made a complete new dash which I had flocked.

I was stood with crossed fingers but the resin flow slowed down to about 1mm/minute with 300mm remaining to infuse so breaking in was my only choice.

lucky escape indeed!
You might of not needed the extra resin. Some people when infusing clamp off the resin feed 2/3rd to 3/4 way across so that the excess resin by the resin feed is used to finish off the infusion.
