methinks carbon fibre = weight reduction = goes faster; so mixed messages for me as its adds falseness...

Well done mate, nice job, and I bet they look better now than they did rusty!!

mmm, I'm not certain? they might grow on me? No don't think they will

would look 10x better if done in real carbon fibre with a resin system brings depth that comes with real carbon fibre products.

It's always a little dangerous posting things like this.
I have a few bits on mine that other members don't like.
It's your car, you do what you like. If you like something you add, enjoy it.

it,s di-noc carbon fiber which is textured to look more like the real stuff so it does have depth

It should be noted that this was done to improve a bad situation, dissy1810 had rusty door finishers, so covered them with this to improve the look of them

Not a carbon fibre fan myself but as Larry says it's got to look better than rust. I never noticed on your car last week............looked a very tidy motor to me
