£45 just for these carbon fibre stickers?... tbh i'd rather find some 'replica' carbon fibre stickers to stick on the pillar, makes no difference, probably cannot tell to be honest, unless u know much about carbon fibre and the difference! lol

 

[Whiteley]

Doesnt take a genious to tell the difference between real CF and ebay decal sheets!

 

[Hazza]

Well i guess so! but would u spend £45 on a carbon fibre sticker for ur pillar..... bare in mind they were £80 odd before

Yea would be harder to spot unless you are standing right next to it - Especially in the dark!

 

[Hazza]

Yup, on lighter cars it'll look decent on.. such as a white or silver.. not too sure on a blue/red clio...

I have heard they make the doors fractionally lighter. Not much mind.



Ask RUSS@Gasperformance about them, he has them and did look good but have now faded. Not sure how long it took them to fade however.

How can they make the doors lighter when you don't actually take anything off the door in the first place? You are adding something to the door so technically your putting weight on. Carbon fibre is very light stuff but I can tell you now that it
wont affect the weight of the door at all Sam lol.

The K-Tec carbon pillars are stick on application, so it just sticks over the top of the paintwork anyway.

 

[Hazza]

TBH, how would they make them lighter?... wouldn't it add a fraction of weight to it, seeing as its stuck onto the standard door?

 

[C.slicker]

Doug, don't tell anyone, but I was being sarcastic

 

[Bjorn]

Iirc they're negative weight carbon door pillars.

 

[DougClio16v]

Doug, don't tell anyone, but I was being sarcastic

I was about to e-slap you with a wet fish!

You had me going! lol.

when i bought my valver someone had put then on the doors..... first thing I did after handing over the cash was RIP THEM OFF.

looks good... but if you put them on wrong when your fitting them your screwed

i had some of these but they were from belguim and not the KTEC ones.

Looked superb for a year and were made of genuine carbon fibre, ive just removed them last weekend because they faded beyone belief and looked rubbish.

It took me over 2 hours to remove all the crap it left stuck to the pillars, the double sided backing was unbelievably hard to remove, i used all kinds of products and ending up using my nails and a cloth with Autoglym tar remover.

NEVER EVER again, stay clear is all ill say on the matter.
