should look good, are you fitting the carbon to old door cards or just having the carbon?

u gonna take a mould of the original wings and bonnet and contstruct from there - if So Id recommend Polyeurathane foam for the mould - would be easier to work with - but ur gonna have to make a support structure for the bonnet somehow as well

I was thinking of covering the wings in clingfilm or similar then lay up wet sheets over the top, and seeing as it's not gonna be visable I can just sand it down smooth and paint
