Won't be a mould tool that you'll make hundreds of products from but you'll get a few out with no issues. | |

If you're willing to do it yourself, it'll cost around £100.00. | |

I've never had a mould made for a car. But when I used to play canoe polo we paddled carbon Kevlar boats and that wasn't cheap or easy. | |

Make your own imo. Modroc bandages to make a mould. Then fibreglass sheets and resin. Just paint it or wrap it after the week of sanding and smoothing. | |

If you want to 'wrap/skin' it; use the Skinning Starter Kit; depending on the complexity of a mould tool, you could use the Epoxy Mould Making Kit and the Laminating Starter kit to make your own. All the above are available from Easy Composites. | |

Carbon dipping looks wank, as does every other "carbon" wrap. Needs to be overlayed with a skin, some companies do that, I had it on my clio. Real carbon fibre layed over an ABS part. | |

Doesn't have to be CF then, even one made in similar plastic would be ok | |

Its a very time-consuming process so expect to pay hundreds! | |
