So that hasnt been cleaned in over a year and a half and not had a car cover so thought id do some tidying up as I was on my day off.
BEFORE
So I removed the mesh,
Sprayed it black and laquered it
Washed, de-tared & cley bared the bumper.
Added carbon fiber splitters
& Made a Carbon fiber Aeroseal to help create downforce
AFTER
AEROSEAL Flatbelly
Will have more pics later of it completed later

Does the carbon fibre wrap stay wrinkly like that? or does it need to be set or something?
What did you wrap it over?
Carbon fibre noob here

You can get carbon fibre fabric, you just need to add hardener and clear coat.
For added thickness you can add fiber glass as well.

Its carbon fiber fabric 2 layers of 180 degree temp resistant hardener.
Then another layer of carbon for strength. step will be a aluminum brace at the rear to the chasis.
The part is not going to be visible so i dont mind about it being wavey.
The varbon was only used because it is so light and strong. It holds itself upwhen i flip the bumper upsidedown

Is it me, or is that a very disappointing response?
So because it's not visible you're happy to do a half assed job
Also if you want it to be effective as an aerodymanic aid it needs to be smooth...
