Looks great mate. I would maybe use a smoked laquer to dull it down a bit against that C pillar trim though.

Fancy making some more????

Very nice

Think I saw you in Farnborough yesterday getting onto the M3 southbound slip, I was waiting at the roundabout in the ST. There aren't many black Sapph's around so I thought it had to be you.

try this place towards end of summer for cheap carbon as they do occasional sales and you can get it as cheap as £10-12 a metre if you buy a bit!!
http://www.mcmc-uk.com/index.html

I got my resins from these places:
http://www.cfsnet.co.uk/
http://www.ecfibreglasssupplies.co.uk/store/

just remember to use the right kind of resins
