Does it bend and mould easy to the contours, im think they would look nice and save a set of shrunken door cards i have in the loft.

So did u just buy the starter kits mate or a roll of weave and resins etc?!

The kits look good but the size of the carbon sheet is fuck all really so for a few bits prob would be better buying a few sq mtrs or a roll of it?!
