it would look fine....... if you sprayed it.
Carbon for the 'look' of carbon is just a sheer waste of money.

carbon for the sake of making a car lighter is cool in my opinion

Lighter on a corsa?
I doubt you would notice the difference.
1) they are very heavy for there size anyway!
2) 99.99999% of them never go near the track in which you would need to even think of seeing a difference.

Was meaning the corsa mate.
Yes they are lighter, but it would be a bit like taking the debageing an oiltanker to save weight if you get me.
If your going for a carbon look.

Im going to try and make one when I got time. Have done bigger and complicated carbon projects on racing dinghies.
Dash would be nice too.

broster, you can see where its been attacked with a scraper. i got this tar and glue removing stuff of me mate george aka george and it lifted it straight off after soaking for 5 mins. looks miles better with no tar-matting. cage and buckets will be on order soon.
shame feckin vauxhall never painted the floor of a car properly, or the bulkhead for that matter.
they do carbon bonets on ebay with mugen vents in. look half decent. i think for me, it would be better as it would be a good way of gettin heat out the engine bay
