The CSL touch in my 1M

**Mark CSL** · 25-09-2015, 10:44 PM

I bought an alcantara steering wheel for my 1M

It came with the trim but the trim was rubbed so thought i would carbon it.

This is the part with the resin on and the carbon cut.

After the resin gets tacky its time to lay the carbon on and then vacuum bag the part.

This is the part after 2 coats of resin then sanded back till its smooth
then 3 coats of clear coat applied.

It just needs a flatten with 2000grit and a polish up and the M badge put back on

I will post some pictures when its fitted Thanks for looking

Looks good,
I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do with the seat backs on the bmw performance sets- i'd love mine done in carbonfibre.
Are you going to get a set to compliment the rest of the interior?
They really are a great mod to push the car closer that "csl" drive..

cheers Jamie
