Anyone work with carbon fibre?

Looking at getting a couple of bits made up for the Jetta (only small bits) and need some advice as i have a small sheet at home and not sure the best way to cut/shape it.

Any advice would be most appreciated...Steph mentioned a name on here that may work with carbon fibre but i can't for the life of me remember who it was.

Cheers

Lee, with the mk1 golf and lupo works with carbon m8 was proply him.

If its just flat sheet you want to cut its not too hard. Just a SHARP knife/blade and then some fine sand paper (wet n dry) to smooth edges. I did all my door cards and dash this way although bought a knife/circular scorer for the instrument holes.

If its shaping you need then that's a different story!

hi ya
is the carbon been cooked or left ?
how thick is it ? & wot do u plan on doing m8

Hi dude

Not sure if its cooked or left...bought it as an offcut. Was planning on doing some door cards as well as a shaped piece to cover the clocks. The piece I have is only small a couple of mm thick and I got it to have a play with.

carbon comes off a roll so u can fold it screw it up etc etc when it hasnt been cooked.
when it has been cooked it will be more stiffer, it will bend but u wont be able 2 make a party hat out off it so 2 speak. it its 4 a door card best thing is 2 use ur old 1 as a template & draw roud it with sumthing & use a jigsaw. (couple off mm oversize) then sand the edges by hand. but be careful of splinters. if u try with a knife and u slip ul score the panel.
if got some mk1 door cards if u wana c how iv done mine.
hope this helps.

sorry 4 the s,a

Thanks for the information dude It's good to learn new things
