What? Are you getting it sprayed to look like carbon?

[madant_uk 0]

show some pictures of the spoiler you have had done, i cant understand how it will be sprayed?

[platty 1]

Carbon fibre paint?

 

Do the manufacturers also make Tartan paint?

You can get carbon effect vinyl for a few quid a metre which doesnt look too bad, cheap makes look rubbish though.

is this a piece of ply-wood?

 

why is it protruding the chassis?

 

 

[hcmini1989 16]

lol yeah its quite big lol its fibreglass i got it free with some side skirts lol i think it may have been a dimma one but missing the side bits may not even be of a 205 and im not sure wether to keep it

[madant_uk 0]

Yer its supposed to be a three piece spoiler from a dimma, still cant work out how its sprayed?

[hcmini1989 16]

well if anyone wants anything painting i can give you the contact detials of the guy doing them he chrged me 50 quid to do the spoiler and 150 to do my bonet and fill dent in the bonnet

[Cameron 16]

It's a bit.. gay, isn't it? Fake carbon fiber is bad mkay, you couldhave saved your money to buy some real carbon bits.

[projectpug 0]

And it does look like the stick/on stuff too? I can't see how thats painted on?

 

And yes i agree with Cameron's comment that if it isn't real don't make it look like something it isnt

[hcmini1989 16]

yeah its not real carbon fibre but how many carbon fibre dimma spoiler do you see and its half the price to get the bonet painted plus it wont start bowing out at speed and im not to sure but would carbon fibre flex there fore paint cracking

[platty 1]

Not sure what you mean about paint cracking, but Carbon Fibre is stronger than steel, and lighter than aluminium, hence aircraft, car, and boat manufacturers using it extensively.

 

I've got to stop watching the discovery channels

[McDude 33]

IMO carbon fibre looks wrong on most cars and extra specially wrong on an old car like a 205.

 

Fake carbon fibre? Now that's just ghey!

Def get rid of, it looks a f'ing hideuos air brake! What do you want a spoiler for on the back of a fwd hatch for?

 

Real carbon fibre, spot the difference

[Jrod 7]

Would that fit a 205?

lol yeah maybe not sure wether to keep it well see my bonnet is ready so ill throw some pics of that on tommorow i ment if you painted over carbon fibre the pint might crack as i read it flexis and it might be stronger than steel but on a mini for example i hve a flip front and the carbon fibe ones tendid to bow out on the wings at speed so i thought carbon bonnet would do the same when it got the wind under it i mean given the choice i would have got a real carbon bonnet but there to expensive and for the people who said stop trying to make it look like something its not why make dimma bodykits as the car will never be a real dimma

why make dimma bodykits as the car will never be a real dimma

 

... it will never be a T16 midengined spaceframed monster - but only a Dimma
