Psychologically that carbon dipping is going be worth 5 bhp or .1 sec.
Looks very smart to say the very least.

Just being picky the bonnets stay needs dipping as well.

Looking good Colin!

So, onto slam panel design number (well I've actually lost count).
First polish up a piece of glass and stick some mirror image stickers on it ( I put 3 sets on to give it a little depth)

next 3 layers of carbon fiber:

Followed by a couple of brackets (these will be used to hold up the relays)

Out of the mold:

Cut to shape and a bead of Plasticine all around so that I can put on a thick layer of resin.

I'll have to leave it till tomorrow, then flat it all back and polish.

Rubbed down, lacquered and polished:

You can just about make out Volvo in the right light.

I do hope you have got that overrun under control when the emission test is being done.

Good luck with the test ,has the tester seen the car before !.
I think he will be in for a surprise if not.
