Thanks.

I have done mine just for the photos really - I personally don't do it usually and don't think it is worth doing unless you can do a perfect job of it, since it would be so easy to make a bodge job and get glue all over the chassis and bits of fluff on there !
it is nicer to hold a car that has been sealed as it doesnt cut into your hands or leave nasty bits of CF in your skin - but this car has an undertray anyway so its only the top decks and towers that would possibly be a bit sharp for the handies.
The cell slots are probably worth doing though to keep from damaging the heatshrink.
