Nice one Dan,
where did you pick the kit up and what sort of price?
Good luck with it anyway, can't wait to see the results.

the fibre is probably the most expensive bit of the kit.. how much did you get?

by **d_dan** » Mon Apr 07, 2008 2:37 pm

I got 1X .25 M of it! it shoudl ahve been enough but the fabric wasnt cut straight.

i cut it trying to make enough to fit both sills but there isnt and im not kidding myself!

so im just doing one for now!

and going to order more carbon to do the second!

Dan
If you are going to do this - then I'd suggest you buy a couple of spare sets of 2nd hand sills from steelroe and sell the CF sills on an exchange basis.

thats not a bad idea!

While you are at it - you should get other interior parts from Steelroe as well - door cups, stereo/gearbox surround (if avail), middle cubby lids, dial surrounds etc.

I can tell you now that you aren't gonna make a fortune or anything but if the parts are good quality then you should be able to offload a few here (or on UK forum).

ahh i wouldnt be that pushed to do it!
id prefer to just do my own car...
