Carbon looks way better , do they only make fake stuff for that model ? Or just economising?

A carbon dash from GBS is £300. I'd love to have the real thing, but I ain't paying that
Understand that
Price of carbon has really gone up.
When i built my westy my mog racing carbon kevlar seats were £350 now they are £800 each and you cant have the carbon/kevlar to the outer shell
Think i worked out all the carbon on my old car came to 5k in todays prices
Fortunately all the pictures on the mog website are mine as i helped develop the stuff

It wasn't -3 in the garage today so managed get a few bits done.
Rear arches and lights off
Started to prime the windscreen frame and brackets
Here's a bit I actually put back on!
Also managed to pick up some cheap part worn NS2-Rs this morning. Still got s**t loads left on them and only 20 quid each!
Got a load more rivets to drill out tomorrow, and then remove the front suspension. It'll be ready for wrapping next weekend hopefully

Reading this is making me realise how much I want to get my garage sorted and get something to do a bit of spannering on. Damn.

Cheers mate. It's not 3M no, it's a brand called KPMF. Im impressed with it so far.
Arches will be going gloss black, and the rest of the body is a matt grey. Although im not overly convinced by the colour now I've ordered it, but I'll give it a go see how it looks.
It's on 15s mate

I think the taking bits off and putting it back on again will probably be almost as much fun as driving it. It's one thing I really missed with the M3, being able to just tinker and not worry about breaking something or affecting its value etc

Started to wrap today. Ideally I would of liked to of drilled out all the rivets and replaced, but f**k that. The whole thing is held together with rivets, it'd take me months to wrap it.
Dash placed back in to see how it'll look
Starting to strip the front end down aswell now as the front suspension arms need to come off to make wrapping easier. I'll replace the bushes aswell as I've found a bit of play in the upper wishbone

Aye, done a cracking job there judging by the photos.

The wrap continues.
Before...
And after..
It's not perfect, but it's good enough for me. There's just one bit where I trimmed a bit short, but f**k it.
Drivers side, rear panel, and rear arches to go. I don't think there's a chance in hell I'll manage to wrap the nosecone, so I may just buy a new one already in black.
I then need to design some sort of vinyl stripes/stickers the side, just to break the grey up a bit

Looks great that. I want to wrap the roof of my Escort but worried about f**king it up lol

It's not as bad as you think mate. Especially on flatish panels! Give it a go!

The matt grey body, black arches and orange wheels would be an epic combo.

Think im going for red instead of orange, although orange is tempting

But... but.... you're adding weight to the car! You'll need to remove some bolts to compensate, get rid of half the ones holding the wishbones on, it'll be fine.

Passenger side suspension is back on. I've also sorted a bit of play in the wishbones I found. This was due to the crush tubes through the middle of the bushes being a touch too long.
Exhaust is now back on, and I've moved the car over in the garage to give more room all round it
Drivers side now stripped ready for wrapping next weekend

Not updated this in a while as progress has been slow due to 6 weeks away down in south wales. I'd got the odd bit done here and there at weekends but theres still a bit to do.
Everything is now wrapped apart from the nose cone, which I keep putting off as I know its going to be a ballache. I attempted the rear arches a second time, and wasnt happy with the outcome. Ordered a brand new set in black instead. Just waiting for those to arrive now.
Reconnected the battery and started it for the first time since around November time. Started first time. The cold map needs bit of a tweak I think as it runs a bit poo when cold

Yeah that is a concern. Will see how it goes. May have to put bit of a heat shield on

If you were sat at the traffic lights and started resting your arm on the side could you accidentally touch the exhaust or is it super awkward to do that from inside the car?
Something I've wondered for a while

The passenger could hang their arm out onto it yeah. They'll only do it once though
