Iain, do you know where to get a cam cover like yours but with no holes?

Surely not all carbon fades????

Give lee at fusion a ring and say you dont want the holes in it.

Carbon fades and goes a crappy brown colour.

Carbon does not fade if the right epoxy has been used. It's not the carbon itself that fades its the resin its bonded in. If the wrong type is used i.e. not UV resisitant then it clouds and goes shite.
