this stuff is probably a bit divisive but I dont mind fake stick-on carbon fibre effect as long as you dont actually try and pass it off as real lol
like, why put it on the bonnet, it's not actually saving you any weight.
but, as a decorative feature...
i did that a while back just to see if I liked it and it's grown on me
so now I'm working on the heater controls as well which is a bit more awkward. bought one on ebay for £16 to harvest the cover plate rather than diving straight into taking my proper one apart. then 3d printed some markings to stick on. the hot/cold will be painted red/blue, other bits just staying white
they're a bit wonky because they're just placed there to see. not glued on yet I will take more time over it
because the right/lower button was a blank on mine (usually seat heaters?) i took the chance to remove that pointless slab of plastic and smooth that off. the non-button kept falling off anyway so this is one annoyance also fixed
above is a little RC caterham project my dad's working on... I'm more of a clodbuster guy myself
