Project carbon
Posted: Sun Jun 28, 2026 2:21 pm
I've embarked on some custom carbon fibre parts for my car. I'm starting with the dash trim a piece that isn't currently available off the shelf. The moulds are around 60% complete at this point.
I'm going for a matt finish; something subtle that lifts the interior without being too in your face. I'll be using prepreg with a satin or matt clear, and whilst there are far easier routes, I was never going to use a wrap or carbon skinned panels.
In the meantime, I had some spare dry carbon lying around, so I knocked up a mould and pulled a couple of front brake air directors between mould making sessions. Really pleased with how they turned out. For those interested, they came in 57g lighter per side.
