The wide front arches make it look somewhat like a beatle

No point in spraying carbon fibre... as you're putting weight back on.
But you can get some CF + blue kevlar woven panels.

Its started off carbon fibre but i think they painted it, and yeah the whole car is carbon, only thing that isnt is the shell! i.e. roof, rear 1/4 panels etc... I reamber some barryboy saxo had a carbon shell, he wrote the thing off too Ha ha!!!

Hard to say by those pics, depends on whether the Carbon kit ones were taken first or the blue bodywork ones were taken first.

Can't wait to see if any videos come out of it.

Wide arches are to get the wider wheels in them to get all the 600bhp laid down instead of spinning so much.

true, never thought of it that way
