Let me know when you go see them again in Leeds TopCat. I'm after the same front mask done.

Is that matte carbon (non-shiny)? I'm hopefully after it done in the matte carbon.

It is more matte than shine, it was hard to get a decent photo because it was matte and if you stand front on it definitely looks matte.  :happy2:
just watch this thread for up dates should have prices tomorrow.  :happy2:

....

I would describe the carbon vinyl as neither being gloss nor matte. Real carbonfibre on road cars (not F1) usually has thick lacquer and that's what emphasises the visual depth. The carbon vinyl is excellent as a decorative finish and is carbonesque but no way does it look like the real thing except possibly to someone who has never seen the real thing. It has a plasticky sheen and that satin sheen is very typically vinyl.

In photographs it can look closer to real carbon due to lighting but not in real life.

So, if you are going to have carbon vinyl, don't fool yourself into thinking that others will think you've got real carbonfibre components - It's just a wonderful decorative finish.

I'm not really fussed if its real carbon, but I understand what you are saying Red Robin, vinyl can never replace the real stuff. Having said that I'm not really interested in paying that sort of money for the real stuff.

As for the matte effect - I've never been a fan of the really shiny carbon stuff as it can sometimes look a bit tacky.

....Matte real carbon looks really dead. When the sunlight catches lacquered real carbon it can look very sparkling. But I would never describe it as tacky.
