Carbon leather roll bar covers.... they're a b***h to do, a lot harder than they look !!
They're not perfect, but they'll do.

I used the Q-bond, nothing else seems to work with this material. That E6000 stuff was useless!
Getting everything to line up wasn't so easy so once you get it where you want it you need something thats going to cure quickly and hold tight. I think the carbon leather is thicker and allows you to rip off and re position without going too crusty.

Enquired about a remap for the coupe. I know a man that can. I'll keep you updated.

Interesting, the Q-Bond was useless for me on the handbrake leather, I had to use the E-6000... although I also needed to repair my MFSW trim, in which the E-6000 was completely useless, and the Q-Bond with powder was king lolthanatu55 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 19, 2018 6:26 pm I used the Q-bond, nothing else seems to work with this material.

Fitted the 295 wheels I bought a couple of weeks ago from a true gent on the forum.
Thanks also to Chris999 who got the previous set and the input he got from mr wilks, which helped persuade me!
They've certainly improved the stance at the front! (Even if it was a 350 mile round-trip to pick them up).

Well they just look great don't they? Just make sure you don't turn it over & scuff that lovely leather
Looks like you need to vac up those dandelion seeds though
