It is carbon, sort of! It'll be carbon and several layers of FG. I think someone weighed one on MF and found there to be no weight difference between a Curley CF flipfront and a FG one.

So it;s not just mine that is carbon with FG in the middle then? might of got a FG one if i had known that oh well the weve on the inside looks cool anyway lol

That's a bit sucky and a bit sneaky of them, I'd have words.

I was intending to get a fiberglass one anyway because I can't justify the cost of the cf one. So I think I'll still go with curley because they have the most original looking front end in my opinion.

I'm watching this thread closely .

Also got some other bits and bobs like headlamp seals and rear lamp seals and check strap seals little things add up don't they already paid my TMF+ membership couple of times over with only the discount from mini spares

[Puddings]

Been down helping with the car today, I got all the C**p jobs to do like rubbing down the inside of the boot also got a few pic of the final figment of the front end one side is fine



but the other one has a bit of a gap, tho that is down to the less than perfect curly front end



going back down to help again tomorrow so should be good
