D.K's LCR, #Projectcarbon. Still alive

[leons_ leon]

It started out as an S3 cover but it had to be extended to fit properly, then it was wraped in Carbon Fibre.

I want to do this to my s3 cover but never used resin before, is this something i could do my self? if so what do i need Looking great by the way mate want to extend my s3 battery cover too

 

[D.K]

I only used the resin to stick the card to the cover to extend it, once it's all dry you would see where it had been extended, the only way round this is to either wrap it or smooth it with P38 body filler and then sand it down to the shape you want.

What card did you use mate

S3 cover looks mint, exactly what im wanting to do when i CBA paying for a S3 cover, looks way cleaner IMO

Making up some carbon fibre stuff at work just now, all materials are free so having a play with a few things might steal that idea ;-)

It was from an old gift box the Mrs had laying around

it has taken me an age to read through this thread, and am now really sad it has come to an end!

if i could id make a 'carbon' copy of you car lol

absolutley stunning d.k



just a quick few questions, how did u change the gear knob? is it a yank off jobbie? and when you rapped the front and rear s badges did you remove them from the car? if so is that tricky? hope you can help matey

 

[D.K]

Dont worry there will be plenty more to come

I cant remember how the gear knob came off, I think you have uncliped the plastic trim at the bottom of the gatter then there was a clip that held the gatter to the knob and then it pulls off the shaft

I did'nt remove my badges to wrap them, if you do take them apart be carefull of the black plastic backing around the "S" it's east to break.

Cars looking good, glad the weather held out a bit for you guys we were at Bristol's Volksfest Sunday and it hammered down all day
