Default Spoon bonnet

1) I can't seem to find anywhere in the UK that sell them, is this the case?

2) Can you paint carbon fibre? I don't want black on grey car - looks shyte.

1) Not sure if they make one (the one on their race car looks like a Mugen one)

2) Yes!

if you look at painted carbon fibre panels..

it generally does not look as good as grp/metal.. when you get close you can see the carbon matrix shadow. It's not just my paint, if you look closely at an F40 it's the same.

Maybe you just need more layers of paint..?

Kobe, the F40 was a special case whereby Ferrari were trying to keep the weight down everywhere they could, including the amount of paint used on the bodywork.

Thanks for replies. Just toying at the mo.

Don't seeing the cf weave through the paint, not at all a bad thing I just dont want it a big load of black when my car is grey. That front bumper is rather too ott for me, and the bonnet looks louder in yellow - but I think it should be ok in moonrock.

Found some other pics here: http://www.modifiedcars.com/covercar.asp?id=1

Trouble is, i would never fit any of the other kit on this cos it's not for me - that wing make's steven's look tiny I wonder if the bonnet will look too out of place without all the shyte stuck on.
