These are my new cheeky bits of carbon mirror caps and fog lamp blanks
I also took delivery of 3 dead cows for the car today. That put a healthy dent in the wallet.

Who cares on what price streamline carbon charge for carbon products you get what you pay for at the end of the day and you get quality with streamline carbon, i'd rather carbon done perfectly and shiny compared to people who make it rubbish and dull, no offense but there is a few companys i know and the carbon fibre they make is shocking! carbon fibre is not cheap to start with so have to make a profit somewhere, all streamcarbon's stuff is hand made themselves and prepped and made properly, thats why it takes so long to get carbon bits off streamline as there made to order!

busted allready lol
i said cheeky for a reason it is infact a vinyl.
3m di noc. so not cheap nasty stuff its the same stuff danny's mirrors are done in.
streamline dont do a fog lamp blank and i wanted them to match the mirror caps. so i thought this stuff looks good and wanted to use it.
it has a satin look to it i personally like how they have come out and when the wallet is up to taking a hit for cf it will but its recovering from a 150sqft of premium grade 1 beluga leather lol
this is a pic of the di noc in the sun

It's only cause the carbon is lacquered why it is so shiny, ah right thought it was vinyl, looks good for vinyl though.

fitted the 'carbon' today and tbh i didnt like them at all not because its vinyl because i prefered the red. so they are going to be body colour again.
crap update i know but its going to be getting alot done over the next month so there will be plenty.
