Carbon Fibre solutions helping needed
 

Had a little search, but im rubbish and impatient and could'nt find either of the things I wanted :hahaha:

So removing dash inserts ( silver bit ) this weekend, to carbon vinyl to match mirrors :whistle:

How the fook do you get them of without snapping please :smt055

And the bottom carbon flipperrooneys, how do they come off, tools needed.. so I dont bugger them :smt055

Thank you in advance http://forum.thescubasite.com/love/love0072.gif

you can just pull them off with your fingers. in the picture you can make out where the clips are (metal bits, sticking out).

if you need to use a flat screwdriver to lift the edge away make sure the end is covered with a tea towel or something equivalent so you dont mark the trim.

i'm sure someone will give you a more comprehensive guide, if you need it

mate what the F is a carbon flipperrooney, do i want one? :hahaha:

Daz, I got a set of plastic trim removal tools for just that, if you want me to check in the garage to confirm I still have them then you are welcome to pop round and borrow them. You start from the passenger door side and work your way along.

+1 ??

a plastic icing sugar spatula and gently pull off ;)

Mate that would be leg-end, will be WFH tom PM so could meet up anytime from 1 ish onwards :thumbs:

:hahaha:

lol you neeed them deffo, will look shit without !

Dont cook, wont cook, hmmm so no icing sugar thingy in the house ! :hahaha:

Dazza where did you get the 3 piece carbon trim from ? One thing I do want to change at some point :)

Im Cheating ... so using the standard trims and wrapping them in carbon fibre vinyl like the mirrors and side vents on the car currently.. will see what they look like sat eve and post up pics :thumbs:

If anyone wants a solution might be able to do a deal with the bigdog and sort..
:whistle:

Just been out to check, found 4 pieces, no idea how many came in the set :)

Basically a bunch of plastic crowbars with different shapes to allow you to lever stuff out without scratching things.

Not WFH myself tomorrow but could take them to work if you wanted to collect in the day? I only work in Thames Valley Park so easy enough for you.

Sweet, im sindlesham so next J on the 329 ;)

PM me you address and no and will spin by in the pm :thumbs:

:hahaha:
i may need to contact bigdog, i have a idea for my wing mirrors and need a solutions :whistle:

Nath, Thanks again for the loan of the plastic thingy me bobs ;), good to meet you mate, excuse to grab a beer in the week (not that I need one) and let you have em back :thumbs:

TMAQ will buzz you this arvo when I get to Lee's :thumbs:

Car playing day :smt055

I know it's not a Race day but... go and get them boy :beer:
BTW, how much does your matee charge to wrap the interior inserts dash bits +
wing mirrors :whistle: and does he have matching CF wrap material to the CSL roof ?

Will see how long they take this arvo, and get him to post up and PM you lot later :thumbs:

The vinyl he has is not the same as the roof, it actually looks better TBH, and has a texture to it like carbon, tempted to do the roof, but no fookin point :hahaha:

So dont think there is a vinyl that is a rep of the roof... can do any colour etc .. just deciding on a matt grey full wrap at the mo aka this colour :whistle:

Ahhh... so you're slowly turning "Silver Grey" albeit in a matt finish :hahaha: You've finally realised it's the better, faster colour ;) :hahaha: ... a bit like this one I saw @ the Ring :supz:

Like that Daz :smt055

Yeah it's deffo tempting me over ... and gonna have the dash done in alcantera too to match the wheel and seats, lambo style.. rear seats out etc .. carpet solutions to the rear lol

Having a proper play over the next few months :hahaha::smt055

Great plate on that CSL .... :thumbs:

:whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

Right then.. morning you lot , some pic solutions from yesterday, carbon vinyl'd the front flippers to match the mirrors, so no more stone chips :whistle:

and the the dash inserts done ...

Front splitters ...

I'm liking the idea of doing my spare set of bumper flippers mate. Protection from stone chips is a great idea mate.:thumbs:Good work.

Yeah thought after having these re done over and over again, time to find a solution :hahaha:

And some random pics

I like , I like :smt041 :smt041 :smt041 I want, I want :smt041 :smt041 :smt041

nice, flipper-rooneys look very smart :smt055

Daz your mates work is good :thumbs:

Is your rear splitter fully carbon?

ive been trying to avoid reading this thread as i know what would happen so here goes

taking a car that was made to show case light CF additions over the standard M3, we (well Daz) now wants to buy cheap sticky back plastic and pretend more of his car is CF - even though it is not.

now if you have an M3 and cant afford CF bits i can see this being attractive BUT why on earth if you have CF bumper. splitters, door panels, roof would you want to go out and stick plastic over the dash:smokin:

discuss!

I have to agree with Shimmy.
Shame to put on the CSL splitters carbon fiber STICKER.
No comment as well about the interior bits.

You could consider covering the roof as well.... for protection :banghead:

covering my splitters makes sense coz they are fooked BUT no in fake CF:thumbs:

Maybe we should all cover our CSLs in a Clear wrap :whistle:

Bubble wrap?

HAHAHA wtf is that about!

I still love you all...

Dont really give a ... about what weave of carbon it is, or if its a cover or not.. ... did the mirrors as bored got carried away, splitters are always fooked as I use it hard all year round so makes sense .. thought id try the interior .. so there goes.. sorry ive offended you all... will try harder to comply with normality and blend in :whistle: :smokin:

Yeah a full carbon solution, might wrap it though to keep everyone happy :clown:

I love ya mate :smt055 :smt056
