Default Perfect

Ordered the clear and the CF effect on Monday and they arrived today - great service.
I was a little nervous applying the clear onto the chassis as I could see myself bodging it and getting the holes mis-aligned, but starting at the side and working across it went on very easily and all the holes lined up perfectly
I only took off the plastic chassis sides and kept all the other bolts in place then removed the bolt hole cut outs with a hobby knife - they all came out perfectly.
You need to be careful as you roll the backing off to make sure you don't get air bubbles and that the front and rear "wings" line up properly too.
I then over layed the much thinner carbon layer.
I removed all the cut out before laying the sheet on as they are really hard to see on the black. It is also essential to make sure you get it the right way round !
Laying his was more difficult as it is thinner but again it all lined up perfectly.
I think the effect is stunning and although it cant be seen it's nice to know the protection is there.
If you are going to do this mod(?) then definitely check and check again before committing the stick as it bonds very well to the chassis and it would be a real Homer moment if you had it back to front !
Is it necessary on an aluminium chassis - probably not but it is cool.
Andy is a really nice bloke to deal with too, which is always nice - highly recommended.
