Has anyone carbon skinned wing mirror covers!

[Scotty-boi]

I've got a question about laying the carbon fibre!

 

[Wrighty.]

I have done a bonnet and some wing mirror covers on a fiesta ST what did you want to know?

Thanks for the quick reply dude!

When I lay the fibre on and then tuck it around the back and tape down,
Obviously then, you use the hardening top coats.
Given the extra thickness tucked round!
Will I struggle to get the cover back on.
I'm worried it will push out at the edges and look daft!

once taped around the back and the resin has dried you can trim the carbon fibre down so it won't be a problem

Will it not be difficult to get a quality finish trimming it flush though!

no, done quite a few sets for different cars and never had any problems

Cool, thanks!
Rubbing parts down starts later!
