Are they actual carbon or print? Pattern look quite large.

[tonyvan]

Bondy, it is pure carbon not print. It is called Spread Toe.... Look it up. Carbon mods are a god place to start. There are diff sizes 15mm 25 mm unidirectional etc.one of my helmets is about 6mm square spread toe design.
This carbon is slightly Harder to work with than the usual 2mm standard carbon.

What's the difference in weight for the carbon parts versus OEM?

[tonyvan]

The weight of the O/E end plates are quite heavy I have all the weights somewhere for virtually every part I have remade in carbon For me although the weight saving is a real bonus, it’s about the look, as I like it to look pretty.

I see

Very nice, Ive used Spread tow on my seats as I think it looks good done in moderation as you have done.

Thinking about it I also made my panels around the radiator in spred tow.

Have you started making your own parts now? spread tow is pretty hard to use compared to 'normal' twill so impressed you managed to do the side pods as they would be very hard to keep weave that nice.

Hi yes I made them myself, and it was pretty awkward to do but still managed it on the first attempt on the canards and side pod. I still got to make the offside pod, and the front splitter, but I’ve got 2 other cars to finish and shows and bike to go out on, so very little time to get these parts done at mo so I’m not too fussed if they don’t get made until the winter months.
