The car now has a new backside, LOL. No more dented rear quarter.
Paul and I set about making a carbon rear guard from my mould this week. The pics make it look better than it is- the surface had quite a few imperfections, but we expected that due to the lack of finishing work I did on the mould. I was always thinking of painting the guard to match the other side so this just confirmed it.
Today I gave it a coat of primer and then decided to cut the dented quarter out of the car (about 6.1kg came out). The new carbon panel weighs 1.6kg and is currently riveted to the top of the guard area awaiting final trimming and then bonding to the car before getting a coat of black.
