Post by: stealthwolf on 16 October 2008, 17:01: I think it'd look nicer if you managed to the the side spokes/arms. Not being a CF fan, I would still advocate that mod.

Phil and Hurdy have recently fitted the carbon paddles, so now they need the steering wheel insert don't they :evil: :evil:

I looked at that a while back on the carbon dynamics site. I also asked about it at the TT shop when I ordered the paddles and they knew nothing about it. Did you order it direct RR?

....It came from CD via TTshop. If you call Justin he'll get one for you. It is a nice finishing touch imo and makes the cf paddles look more oem-ish.

I'm about to resurrect the CF VW badges GB - There's been some progress at last!

....Just 55k miles of use. I really like the way it has worn-in - Looks and feels rather like a favourite pair of leather shoes. What's yours look like, pristine?

....Well if you do succumb to Temptation, order it when the VW carbon badges GroupBuy goes through and, who knows, you may get a small discount. Of course TTshop already may have stock of the wheel insert - I don't know.

You lot are mad! I'm going to have to go into the carbon fibre business.

I can advise against it after building a carbon fibre boat for 6 months!

Was building this in Italy over the summer

Carbon fibre when in dust form is more toxic than asbestos :sick:

....It's called an exhaust trim.

I assume it would be a carbon piece stuck-over-the-top of the existing one-piece Ed30 rear valance/bumper.

it is, but it doesnt come off so i didnt want to call it a trim LOL, and as its one piece i guess he would just stick it on , he's never made one by the way, it would be a bespoke item
