I call real carbon fibre a product made just from carbon fibre, be it by vacuum resisn infusion or pre-preg. This not only makes it very light but also very strong.

Anything else is just cheap wet layup which isnt light or strong.

You could argue that 2k epoxy resisn layup is a step in the right direction,however thats still wet layup and of course still dosnt make best use of the carbon fibre cloth.

I said 200gram 2x2 twill as thats the most visual appealing weave, rather than a uni weave or a heavier 4x4 (where the strands are larger).

I cant send PMs at the moment but as soon as I can I will pass the details along for you to ask.

I have used them before for making me parts and they do a fantastic job at a very decent price.
