You should post pictures of how you lay the panels up too unless you don't wan tto give that away. Its always interesting seeing how someone does it at home as such.
I only ever see how the large aerospace OEMs make carbon fibre parts with millions spend on automated fibre placement machines etc.
It was yourself made the carbon bonnet at home wasn't it?

Will post up pics of layups when i get to that stage!
Yep i did the bonnet in the lounge
I will be using works facilities for this project so much more space and better facilities.
The sheets in the test panel were simple resin infused sheeting.
Most of the chassis will be moulded against something, so as long as the moulding surface is smooth and hi-gloss, then the finished panel will be the same.
Would probably cost you twice that in materials plus several hundred hours of labour which would be the killer cost!!
