New interior on the cheap

[Brightonuk]

I have a superlite and a year ago decided to make it a little more aesthetically pleasing to drive around town in.

I wanted a carbon fiber interior but getting and paying for the Carterham ones was out of the question so I opted for an ABS sheet with a Carbon Fiber finish.

The original attempt looked OK but the sheet was way to thick and heavy so this time I opted for an .040 ultra lite sheet.

The drivers side bow was looking well beat up so I checked the cost of the Ultimate Carbon ones :ack:

And then Caterham ones :ack::ack::ack:

 

I am well pleased with the way these came out and basically free.

Looks great, we're did you get the ABS sheet from?

If the carbon matched a little better, it would be a tempting option.

 

Don't forget there is always a vinyl option and the carbon matches much better

I've been looking to fab some black rear wing protectors and I think ABS might be a great solution - thanks! Do you think the 0.04 thickness would work OK in this application?

ABS with CF finish.....I’ll never tell.

But check Fleabay I think you will find a better match

 

The .040 will work great for the wing protectors

Cause you will never know (if I had got the correct finish)
