Dorris Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 It seams these days that carbon fibre is becoming more readily available for us mere mortals so I was just wondering if Santa could bring you anything carbon fibre for your car what would it be and I’m not talking about the carbon wrap stuff either. Personally id like some front splitter or maybe a CF tailgate (couldn’t believe how heavy a Gen 5 tail gate is when you take the struts off ) Love to know your thoughs and ideas, Dorris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnyboy1976 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Look at mooks rc to see how good quality cf looks rtp are going to be doing a gen5 hatch if enough interest might eventually get some cf bits on mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 carbon is the muts nuts , a whole gen 5 shell in unpainted carbon would be awesome , and no rust ! now back down to earth , carbon interior trim would be nice , i have the wrap on the inside and looks cool but genuine would look a hell of a lot cooler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamGTR Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I love carbon fibre, I want a green/carbon look when I get the money for bonnets/boots etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpsmith79 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Yeah, bonnet and boot would be nice, but the cost would end up at more than the car is worth (which isn't difficult in a 5 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamGTR Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Carbon wheels would be awesome Carbon wheels are a massive no-no .... find some reviews on some of the GTR ones and you'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splinter Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) I won't be painting my carbon though dunno about you guys My bonnet and tail gate were repaired, so couldn't have them plain. But I love the look, and the need for the paint led rise to my stripe design. Add to my list both bummpers!! Also when I see a white car coming the other way with a black bonnet it looks like a pattern part after a crash, where as on a black car it looks cool as anything!!
