Default Carbon Fibre..?

Hiya Peeps

I have considered buying carbon fibre products before but have always been hesitant, how can you tell if you are getting a good product from an inferior cheapo..?


Cheers

Especially with bonnets...many of them tend to be fibreglass with cf coverings.... weak and heavy...bling value only.
A proper cf bonnet will be 100% cf and lightweight & strong. You will be able to judge the quality by having a close look at the weave pattern of the cf, the continuity and the quality of the gel coat finish...look especially at the underside & seams.
