i am smoothing mine by grinding the scuttle up so it is rough, plastering it in xpanding foam, smooth that off near enough with grinder or sander, then go over it with a few sheets of fibreglass then sand and filler, that way it will stay reasonably light, its not load bearing so it wont pop out, it will be hard as fook and a perfect job. | |

wouldnt use P40 or P38 at all - but thats cause Ive got a roll of low GSM matt - a gallon or so of resin and I'll make my own filler with balloon inhibitors | |

ive got a smooth scuttle. got it at start when pvd first got them and they were terrible. sold me mine cheap coz it needed alot of work to get it rite. its not on the car. my m8s dad had his own carbon fibre moulding company and i was thinkin of askin him how much it would cost for him to make a carbon smooth scuttle. think that would look the dogs with silver paintwork... | |

would really bother buying a smooth scuttle, as it probably be a terrible fit. | |
