Finally got round to fitting my new scuttle panels and they look great. Took the old panels of and cleaned the metal work underneath.

 

 

Then I put the new panels on the car but as the vents were a lot bigger than the original so I painted the metal behind the vent black.

 

 

So new Carbon Fibre panels were fitted and they look so good against the red bonnet :yes: pics taken in the garage are not great but will take better pics when I get the wipers on (getting sprayed satin black)

 

Glad you like them and they'll never rot!

looks great gaz, well done

Mine did fit like a glove mate where did yours not fit so well?

Looking good Gary! I like the black carbon fibre look, especially against the red car.

 

Have they been dipped to get the carbon fibre effect or are they the real thing?

They are hand made so you have to give a little, the OE ones are injection moulded to a die so are the same every time.
