first thing to say is wow! it's the little detals that count! how are you laying your fiber? vac bagging? i have done similar stuff but no way near on par to this! something you might not yet have considered is a carbon fiber windscreen wiper motor cover and the cap for the fuse box might look nice in carbon as would things like headlamp rings, door handles and scratch plates mini badges in carbon would look AMAZING!!! wheel centers too! all good stuff and once you have a mould they can be used for the business happy days! the only things that don't look right imo is the dash (sorry not my cup of tea) think mainly down to the center bit, and the exhausts look far to low and 2 is just unneccisary lol keep going really loving to see the finished product!
on the painted or non painted front i think non painted and get some stickers made in that nice blue to promote the company, that way anyone looking at the car (and being in awe at the carbon) knows where to go to get the same bits >_<

Fantastic car mate, this is a far cry from the basic rebuild i'm in the middle of!!!
Are you planning on taking it to any of the shows this year (finished or not) because i'd love to see it up close?

Hey Azz,

Just read through the thread again and still really impressed!!

Do you have any pictures of the car as a whole in it's current state? The parts are looking awesome.

Lovely car, had the same idea to add as much CF (showing the weave) as possible, Miglia arches, Boot, bonnet, door skins, Front end (same colour as the rest of the car) not fitted it yet but got it all from Curley hope it's not gone milky it been in the shed for ages. may be needing you services,
love the grill, no taker's then?
