cant really see the bubbles in the photos, but imagine thy are alot more obvious up close.
With the shape I expect it'll be hard to get them without bubbles, might be best to send them off to get a layer of real CF on them.

I think Lite Tuned do a covering, would need to contact them to make sure and get a price. Heard essex racing do aswell, but unsure how good a quality they are!

Another Idea Mav, get a sheet of the stuff, lie it adhesive upwards on a pillow and heat it thoroughly, then push the piece down onto it, turn over and smooth round?

I like it, but IMO you should have got them painted a nice shade of mettalic black, or the same colour as your car

Was on 77k when i bought it iirc - 13months ago now.. I travel 35/40 miles every day just to get to work and back.
It's been through a bit of an adventure during those 13months...
Local lad from VVOC said he would do it for me if i sourced the parts. Apparanetly LMF sell the full kit for about £120 and then £50 or so for the lad to fit it. So looking at about £200-250 for full cambelt kit and service.

not bad marc think I paid about £200 for kit fitted...aye been an adventure for you
Cheers ash will try..
This is just a stop gap at the moment as all that is going on not got time etc to send them off or money to get them painted.....will probably change it in the future but will do the now..
knew you would say that Ross , not happy with that one as it has the bubbles but will try others the night....see what happens...
