Don't use sticky back carbon sheet for stone guards as it sucks Use it for helmet protection pads

I have it as stone guards on my arches and it melted when the 90 degree bend fell off my R1 can

I think if it wasn't all wrinkled when I received it, it would have been good.

got mine off ebay its not smooth, looks like its been coated with clear stuff, i thought i would use it as it should absorb stone chips rather than chip like real carbon fibre may do.

Sorry, don't mean to offend anyone with it on.
It came rolled up and could do nothing to it to straighten it out. It looked worse when I put it on the arch. Rather than bin it I racked my brains to use it somewhere else.

I have a few jobs still to do, luckily not much more to spend. Should be ready at the end of April. Once i am happy with it then will apply for a SVA date. Don't really want to rush about at the last minute.

(Kidding )

It's all each to their own isn't it with these things - and since a lot of us are driving round in Manufacturers Kit's then it's nice to get these details seperated!

I've just ordered a set of Real CF Arch Protectors from Carbonmods as they are unable to produce any more of their Polymer ones but think the ones that I'll make will look really good with the rest of the carbon on my car...

I work 4 on and 4 off which has been great for spending time on it. A bit cold over the winter but highly addictive.
Not sure what shows I will be at this year due to work but if im there be sure to say hello.

Well done for sticking it, I felt like packing it in within a few months (Ha!).

Thanks Kriss, your car sounds as if it is going to be awesome, have you got any pictures back yet?

Kriss - 17/3/08 at 10:23 PM

got a photo added to the bodywork post i made.

the sides and rear were not fiited as MK need access tot he rear of the chassis to weld in my mounts for the rosejointed rear back stays for the roll bar.

really happy with the colour. wanted somethign different and I think both of our cars have acheived that
