Carbon Fibre Detailing

To make the car stand out a little from most other Astra VXRs I have decided to finish off the exterior with some carbon fibre components; a V Grille, Front Lower Spoiler and Rear Diffuser.

The carbon fibre covers have been fitted to the OE surrounds and all the edges have been stuck down with masking tape to ensure all the edges are stuck down properly as the bonder ‘goes off’:
