I'd recommend at least masking the inside of the boot so its carbon so you can still admire the weave when you open the boot.

Where did you get the hood from socks?

Trev88 · 06-25-2016, 06:20 AM

Very nice sockie.

Nice mate. I would paint the outside I don't really like the look of a CF boot. Just looks unfinished lol.

Any reason you changed to aluminium hood from CF? Sorry if you've already mentioned this somewhere

Was gonna wait for PI install Miro, guessing its putting out about 240Kw

Might organise a dyno day at Springy Motors, if there are some peeps who want to get together and bring the cost down a bit

I always thought grey contrasted great with cf but yeah the boot lid needs painting imo

Will be interested to see what you end up doing with keeping exposed sections of the cf when you spray it

FYI you may find that the boot struts are too stiff for the lighter cf boot, you can buy struts to suit lighter lids so it will close properly
