 Give it a go. The results totally blew me away! I am not going to do the total refinish (the 2000 grit and second coat) immediatly as I am working to a deadline now (parents are moving away and its all in there garage!) so I am getting some of the reassembly done first). If you do it, take some before AND after shots... I didnt think and only took after shots (doh!) Cya, Sam C

Try some 8600 grit and some plaxiglass polish to make it shine. We here at Metro Tech have some 12,000. Yes (12) thousand grit that we use to sand the windows in airplanes to make them clear. I can run a test piece on some carbon for you guys if you want me too. The polish is fairly cheap and you dont need alot.
Let me know, Mike

i was thinking of getting a mate who works for a company who produce indy car bodies, amongst other things, to make me a set of door panels out of carbon fibre (or kevlar).
they do it properly there in an autoclave, not carbonfibre/fibreglass composite, but autoclaves are crazy expensive so no wonder theres a lot of fibreglass the door panels wouldnt just be flat sheets of carbon mind, they would have rolled edges so they imitate the radius of the original panels, i was even thinking about have the pattern thats pressed into the vinyl ones formed into them, that way i would be hoping they could be fitted like the regular ones. tell me what you lot think cos its not gonna happen unless a lot of people want them.

I would be interested in a set of CF door panels, depending on the price.
Would they just be the sheets with NOTHING cut out (door handles/opener bits/window winders)? Would be better as it allows people the flexibility to do what they want with them... I have electric windows so dont really need the window winder holes... Cheers, Sam C
