Carbon !

west-wot · Apr 13, 2021

My car needed a fresh set of plastics but it made more sense finance wise to upgrade to carbon !

amazing quality and fast turn around - all in 400 quid delivery with no import tax. I was impressed so much I ordered the door cards

Is it all carbon, or a carbon cover?
Where did you order it all from?

I like the idea of changing the interior plastics to carbon too at some point.

Interested to know if they fit as well as OEM pieces, assume you haven't tried yet?

Not yet car is still at the body shop being prepped but the dry fitting to the dashboard seems pretty good

Looks good, thanks for the link.
I’ll wait to see how they fit with yours, then possibly get some ordered.

What is the back of them like, the problem with the previous carbon interior is the mis-alignment or missing mounting points for the switches, dials and clusters? No good if they do not line up....or at best hours of work to get everything to fit. (very few sellers actually show this on their adverts).

Sills and customer moon should be basic fitting so no problem there.

Mind checking the dome and cluster surround to see how that fits? I saw a carbon set recently and it all looked as sexy as what you have shown in the photos but when actually installed it didn’t line up between the dome, cluster surround and HVAC control face.

I've read this about some of these sets too. It's only thing that has put me off pulling the trigger. So will be interesting to see if these might be any good.

Looks good and not bad price wise! If the weave lined up and they offered plain weave I might be tempted, twill wouldn't match with the other plain weave bits I've got on the car

Drop him a message as he makes them to order so can’t see why he couldn’t use different carbon

It’s the same manufacturer

Following... if they are made to order maybe we could get a group order discount

Do you have pics and a thread of this ?

I can’t install this until next week at the earliest but a tad concerned about this - wonder if there’s a way to mod it if required while keeping the carbon look

offer the cluster hood (dome) up to the speedo surround off the car.
