    Hope your keeping well Ian?

    Ian, what else have you left on your car that isn't CF?

    I bet you have the most CF'd car in the world, or is there another CF fettish
    R8 owner out there that has more CF?!

    Re: CF Seat Bases Arrived

    Ian,
    I'm curious about one thing. I saw your car with the CF roof in the Alps trip pictures. The picture was taken from a distance, and I thought it looked fine. How happy are you with the CF-look wrap? Does it fool most of the people most of the time? And how has the durability been? Bottom line, would you do it again? If so, any changes in coverage? Thanks!

    The durabilty is fine, very easy to clean etc. It's not done to fool though as I went with the semi matt, I just wanted it to be unique(ish). In reality it is tough to do with a wrap as the roof is a double compound shape and has to be fully stretched to fit without wrinkles. The downside is this stretches the pattern a little. I like it, it sort of gives it a handbuilt look, others, not so much. If it was a real cf roof, they'd have the same problem because of the double compound shape, you'll see most carboned roof cars are single compound so it's a doddle then..

    I can send you some detailed shots if you like to show you what I mean?
    Best Regards, Ian

    Great mate, showed the wife the trunk and she said 'you'll need to do the trunk light now' ;-)

    Ordered the PPI wheel and installed the MA Carbon paddles today, feel fantastic and the wife called them 'batman's ears' ;-)
