Lets see your carbon fibre parts

[Stefan.]

personally think it looks naff, if your going for carbon fibre, if at all go outside rather than inside on a clio, and if you must the steering piece and silver dash inserts are enough not the rest, the quality doesnt look anyway near streamline, i just think its a waste of money sorry to sound harsh just dont think it needs it all

 

[ch!ppen]

^Streamline isn't all that great imo.

I don't think they do anything for car's but in the bike world Akrapovic carbon is by far the best i've seen. Pricey but it ooze's quality... Definitely a lot better than Streamline.

[Chri5]

Where did they come from? Not knocking you but they look pretty cr*p

The weave is all over the place and stretched to buggery!!!

+1 Parts like these need to be carefully templated so that you cant see the join but at the same time aren't trying to stretch one piece all the way round

 

[Chri5]

Joins on the rads/in the corners or if not possible, a nice neat straight join somewhere inconspicuous

Finally someone on this site who understands, it genuinly pains me to see people paying over the odds for quite frankly s**t work, which if I was to make at work I would probably be out of work pretty quickly.

 

[Chri5]

Im in the business too mate, for a living. Some stuff I see is good quality but some just looks horrible and people pay alot just to say they've got "carbon fibre" parts.

Im not knocking anyone in particular and alot of it is good if its just for looks

 

[domsclio182]

Mirrors

Fogs/splitter/washer blanks

Rear badge

Door handles(unsure bout these)Dash trims/gear insert

All good quality work,I have shaved about 100 grams of the cars weight lol

 

[Stefan.]

^ unless there moulds of the existing parts you have prob added more weight lol

 

[domsclio182]

They are not covers buddy they are replacements bar the door handles,do your homework first then comment

 

[Nickw88]

Really like that Dom, looks mean and still OEM at the same time

 

[domsclio182]

With respect, that looks like an absolute dogs dinner!!! Way OTT.

Alot of ratty looking weave in this thread.

 

[Chri5]

Dom, where did you get the door handles from? I've thought about making some purely out of carbon and not wet lay over the top, but not a lot of people seem to have them. I'm talking about the metal part

 

[domsclio182]

Door handles were done by Chris on here mate and they are wet lay,you can have a look tomorrow.

 

[J.B.]

You'll all tell me to f*** off probably, but I just can't see why anyone would pay money for this stuff. It looks tacky on a Clio.

 

[domsclio182]

Each to there own buddy

A lot of this work is done in 4x4 twill carbon which the camera dosen't give it credit it deserver, i do a lot of work on this site and others and get exccellant feedback, and all done in 4x4 twill carbon

 

[Jason_E]

No offence but if our inspection department saw half the stuff in here they'd have a field day.
