A F1 car, maybe? :lol:
Filter mask on. The fibres from CF are bad for you. So when you drill it or snap a bit off, they get released into the air.

i've got some http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8057964394&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1, and they're usually attatched with very strong velcro. However it doesnt sit as flush as i'd like, so am planing to drill a hole so that the screw from the sidepanel can be accessed through the carbon fibre. Which will mean i can glue the cf cover in place :) ....well thats the plan anyway!
:mrgreen: IM VERY ENVYOUS OF YOU! Just saw the pics on ebay,do you know who make them?! I'd like to steal your idea,if you don't mind.
Or you can say "NO,I'm not going to tell you,Ner ner na ner ner!"

Is it your carbon fibre? If so drill away, but not if it's mine, mine's got all the holes it needs ta.
