more bodywork wrapping

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves on this blog post:

wrapping the doors...


pretty happy with the RHS door and quarter. Tarty billet fuel filler cap added.

I thought doing the handle recess and lock mech would be a nightmare, it actually turned out not too bad. Door difficulty 5/10


roof done. Difficulty 2/10


wing mounts completed now. I'll do a post on the wing itself at a later date...


tailpipe still to be trimmed obviously


Crying out for Jagermeister sponsorship?

  1. hi, good job on the wrapping- are you applying it directly to the unfinished/unpained fibreglass?

    1. Hi Reeves, thanks for the comment. Yes direct to the gelcoat or in the case of the doors/sills the current painted finish. One thing I found with the gelcoat though is to make sure you give it a good rub down and clean with alcohol to get any wax from the mould release process off. The wrap won't stick anywhere where the surface is anything but spotless. Up close the wrap is not 100% perfect but as you can see in the pictures from a couple of feet away it looks great and for a track car it should be nice and hard wearing/easy to repair.
