Yea just sprayed the glue on the dash and the arches then placed the CF over that, i got the idea after searching the interent and someone else was doing the same CF method and they advised to glue first.

Well i just popped out and gave them another later of resin, if it doesnt get to dark ill pop down and give them a final coat tomorrow as it means they will all be ready for flatting back then.

if i can get my hands on a hoist, ill be putting the engine in tomorrow.

looks cool! i want to do this one day

[Tomf]

I just popped out and gave the arches and dash a final coat or resin, so it should level out prety well.

The bonnet has smoothed out well, just needs a flatt back where there are a few raised bits and where dust has got in it.

I also got one of the gaz shocks off and undid the other one, iv just got to take the wheel off and then that will be off. So ill fit them when i get that chance.

Me thinks ill be buying a clubby front soon, so i would be able to change between the two front haha.

[Timtom]

I think it looks better with a clubman front there Tom

The roundnose just looks a bit too empty

[Tomf]

Nah i still think the roundnose looks good and suits the car, but i think it would be nice to change between the two.

Iv seen a carbon fibre roof, black with weave for £350. How do you attach them to the roof? "bonding" is also mentioned on the website but I have no idea how or what that is:-) Tom, snot is looking gorgous. close to the final design or got new ideas in mind? the clubman front would look sexy.
