Made a new carbon part for my 1M

I bought an alcantara steering wheel for my 1M




It came with the trim but the trim was rubbed so thought i would carbon it.

This is the part with the resin on and the carbon cut.


After the resin gets tacky its time to lay the carbon on and then vacuum bag the part.


This is the part after 2 coats of resin then sanded back till its smooth
then 3 coats of clear coat applied.



It just needs a flatten with 2000grit and a polish up and the M badge put back on

I will post some pictures when its fitted Thanks for looking
