Carbon Fibre Back Panel

I really liked the look of Chris Forster's Carbon boot lid and have had it on my todo list for a long time. I finally got around to ordering a sheet of 0.7mm wet lay carbon, the size is 1200mm x 1000mm, so there was plenty to make a new back panel and boot lid to replace the plastic faux carbon ones that came from MNR.

The sheet came from Fibre-Lyte and was 650gm 2x2 single ply and 0.7mm thick, if I had of bought 400gm this would have been less than 0.5mm.

I used my original parts as a template and cut with scissors and a sharp Stanley knife. Fitted in place with some new Velcro. Will cut out the boot lid next.
