    Default Carbon Fibre Skinning Kit...Is It Worth It ?

    got this link of my fellow link dealer scottie

    Carbon fibre skinning kit - cover / wrap your own parts in carbon fiber - Carbon Mods

    47 quid is steep for me and my mini budget, so i researched the contents and ive already found the epoxy resin and hardener for about 2-3 quid of ebay ! and thats half the kit more or less.

    what i wanna know is, can i buy the contents of this kit separetely at a lot cheaper price, or is there something special about carbon mods kits.

    im inspiring to wrap my wing mirrors in carbon fibre soon so any help would be appreciated cheers lads

    If pulled off nicely can work I think but if it's mucked up it'll look horrible. Have seen far cheaper versions of this on eBay but I think those will be more like Fablon ie sticky back plastic
