That's carbon-tastic...

Should look awesome when the small details are finished.

Looks great but why go to all that trouble and then leave the roof and mirrors green?

I'm guessing that there may be more carbon fibre on the way there...

That's a Siebon bootlid mate and that's how it fits , It's the downside to Carbon / fibreglass panels you are limited on the amount of tweaking you can do . To be honest I am very pleased with the outcome of the whole kit bearing in mind in had to be pretty much fit and finish
