Honest...1st go and in one piece,, the thing thats most impressive it dosent look
distorted from the pulling from the heat forming, ask Nick for a small sample and
give it a go. Il put some more pics up of the other side up in a few days or so
for you to look at....

Did you remove the mirror or do it as it is??

Did you wrap the edges or cut to a couple of mil from the edge??

And did you use heat to mould it to into the tight curves?

Interesting to know as I'd like to get into it.

Cheers Potzy, thanks for the track pics in the email you sent me the other week...... YOUR BLOODY MAD Flaugh.gif

I pulled the whole thing round the edges and left myself loads room to gently trim the over streched film out
because if you over strech it wont tac down, i trimed it along the mirrors mould seem...you have to take into account that
the carbon shrinks back after applying heat...keep heat very low and i did leave the mirror in place...

Watch these if your board mate

Its hard to catch the weave on a phone camera, the photos i took on my thread of the roof and side windows, were not able to catch the weave. Only today i was walking back to my car the sun was on the roof and the weave really stands out, and has a really good look, will try at some stage to catch that effect on a camera!

now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
