I got my Stage 2 Body kit today.

I also ordered the Carbon Fibre Dashboard, very cool.

But my question is how do you cut the Carbon fibre ? It's very flimsey and appears quite brittle.

Anyone here had any experinces of cutting or drilling this stuff,

thanks

Not had any experience of CF - but I'd guess the safest way to drill and cut holes would be to clamp in between two pieces of sacrificial wood, and drill through the resultant 'sandwich' - that way, the CF is completely supported as you drill.

But anyway - you can't say you got a nice pressie from Santa Terry and not show us piccies. hoto:

It's lunchtime, it's nearly christmas (i.e the office is dead) and I was bored:

I'd still be inclined to have some wood behind it when drilling, just to stop any blow-out at the back.

And both articles seem to agree on one thing - respirators, gloves and safty glasses are a must!

Jason,
pictues will follow in the new year.
many thanks for the research and suggestions.
I'll let you know how I get on....
