hi people i want to get my bootlid carbon skinned if any1 knows someone who does it and how much? thanks

 

Definately easier (and possibly cheaper) to just get a Carbon boot.

 

Just sold mine for £225,so they are about.

 

o f**k i gave up on looking for a carbon boot lol i advertised on wanted section for 1...i thought it wud be cheaper to skin and also would be able to hold weight down as i have carbon spoiler aswell n didnt want it flying off lol

 

They are light...my mate made the mistake of putting a few tools on my boot,i didnt see them and clicked the lever....they went flying over the car and landed some way off.....

yh i wanna weigh it down but wont help with carbon spoiler iv got haha...dont want to put a carbon sheet as it just looks cheap.thought about proper skinning it...also i dot no anyone hoo drills carbon fibre as iv had my bonnet pins for over 3months and no1 is willing to fit them lol

 

Had the same problem getting someone to fit my carbon spoiler to carbon bonnet....in the end my mate(whos tools went flying) done it.....

 

haha lol was it hard fittin spoiler to boot? i wana get it done but if i dont find any1 then i will just get it skinned lol

 

Not too bad.
I was terrified to drill it but my mate turned spoiler upside down and we put a large sheet of paper over it and rubbed a crayon over it.
This showed where the holes where.
We then laid this on the boot and drilled...sorted....

 

lol sounds 2 scary to me...rather get it done from someone has drilled through over 50 carbon products lol unfortunately nottingham hasnt got places for that well as far as i no

 

We used a sharp drill bit and to be honest,it was no different to just drilling fibre glass (which it is partly anyway )

 

i wouldnt do it myself...gona ask few more places...did you put masking tape around where u drilled and water?heard it stops it from shattering?

 

I have Seibon carbon bonnet,which is actually pretty much made from fiberclass.When i installed aerocatch hoodpins,i just drilled a little holes carefully and made them bigger with dremel.It was very easy job.I think that it is best be done,when weather is warm or in a warm garage.It is also very dusty job,so cover your engine.

 

doesnt seem to hard when you put it like that lol i dnt understand why alot of big named companies refuse drilling carbon fibre

 

I believe,that they don't want to take risk cracking it.
I can also speak only for regular Seibon carbon bonnet,dry carbon may be different story.
In dremel i used sandpaper.

 

i havnt got dry carbon...i need pins putting in bonnet and bootlid drilling when i get it but like u sed they dont wana risk cracking it and geting there head kickd in

 

 

i have the carbon look round bonnet pins with locks?theyr meant to be harder to fit but they do look good
