boot install this time, all done with pics
hi everybody.
i've been meaning to sort my boot out since i got the car, i had just chucked my custom box in the back, and while it sounded good, it looked pants.
so i decided to try and do a carbon fibre install. but it didn't go to plane,
first thing was to cover the boot in plastic sheet, so no resin actually touched the car, then i stretched the fleece over the car, got my shape and added two coats of resin.
then when dry i poped it out, and cut it too shape.
then i filled in the imperfections to get it smooth,
then laminated my carbon fibre sheet to it, now this would have worked if my resin was see through unfortunately i must have put too much on at once and ended up wasing £40 worth of cf!!!!
so i decided to use fabric instead,
this is it back in the boot all done. i think it looks ok, would of been better in carbon fibre but hey, what can you do. i may eventually get some blue alacantara for it
