Sorry to Hijack the thread........

Kev, let me know how you get on as this is something I've been thinking about for a while

Hardly niticed it, and when i did i thought it looked a bit pointless and gay. lol

The carbon fiber thing sounds good, would be interested in this myself as my S3 is black. Not sure how you can carbon it up without sourcing and buying them already in carbon?

 

[s3_kev]

ok, i have been looking into doing it for some time now, i have found some info out on how to do it so if funds allow i might do it next month in which i shall do a step by step guid if i manage to pull it off

 

[Trick]

[1animal1]

if you are doing ur door moulding carbon fibre - how are you going to round it round the corner-ish edge at the front side of the mouldings on the doors?

im not really using the method on that video

 

[fingermouse]

you get round corners by heating it with a hair dryer and stretching it, never done anything big I just did a small lip in front of the stereo that someone had scratched before I got my old car and a flat panel in the center consol where someone must have had their keys swashing around
