the carbon panels aew readily available for the mk.2's,so probably buy mine.

if you put them on wet,you will not get any air bubbles.

no ,deffo this keyboard and me typing too fast and not looking at whats getting typed.

you get different coloured rolls of plastic sheeting that gets cut into alphebet letters and then they get stuck onto a white background etc....that makes the sign....yes....

£50 s not that bad imo,wtf do you want.

the mk.2 ones are cheap because they are alloy,have you seen the price of the carbon ones.

the alloy ones are way to bright for me,ned to be black realy,like them fake carbon ones.
