It doesn't work for me. Carbon but with painted arches?

Lovely work on the shell though, should be a beast.

Very nice, however purely from a styling point of view i would paint the whole thing black if your having carbon bits, otherwise itl just end up looking like a polo harlequin

Do they save much weight?

I Like it.
Had a few custom carbon parts made for my bikes in the past by a mate who worked for BAE, it's an awesomely strong material and I think it looks sexy !

where the carbon fibre stops, i.e: the bits you don't see, what is that made of?

are they real carbon fibre wings?

I asked Performance trim this, because of the weave distortion into the creases/tight radii and the fact that Carbon mat won't take into too tight a radius, they've used black gel coat to form a boundary. Its still carbon behind but this keeps the edges neater

It looks mean! Carbon with the red kit will look mental! Tbf I think if you see a carbon'd car with an intercooler. Or even just a very clean one you can tell it's usually a weapon. Unless it's a like an unlowered mk4 fiesta. With ripspeed over the back window

I was going to say, the wings on Corsas are so light I wouldn't have replaced them for carbon, i'd have concentrated on a lighter boot etc.

That said, I think they look great, but I have a carbon fetish Just a shame that company stopped doing the carbon fibre GSi bumpers as it would have worked a treat having an all carbon front end.

at the haters moaning about a little gap. Its an aftermarket carbon part, not a f**king F1 car thats being made Always the haters. Used to get this with Donnas car, someone standing there just picking the faults with it instead of looking at the positives.

Glass half full people.
