As much as I love carbon fibre, I would personally paint some of the panels to break it up. I like subtlety. In saing that, I will definitely make my car full cf when I win lotto next week

I cant believe the comments on the speedhunters froum...... This guy has been on Miata turbo since his first laid up panel. It is UNREAL what he has made by hand in his own garage.
Car is not finished and quite frankly he is a genius. When it is finished I bet you will eat your words

By hand? Damn that definitely deserves serious respect points although I still stand by mypainting comment to break it up though... But I'd love to have a full cf body - one day my bike will be full cf as it at least it achievable compared to a full car

Can sadly only agree that it's visually hideous, though technically brilliant!
Would rock a car in carbon fibre though.

That thing would be scary as hell in a crash nothing worse than tiny bits of CF flying around like shrapnel
