Hi Fellas,

I have a CF bonnet that recently suffered a small stone chip to the front corner edges of it. I was wondering if there is any 'CF looking' patch up material that I can use to patch it up and then paint over it with some clear Resin or something? I am not after a 100% fix, but would like to patch it up a bit.

I heard there is something you can buy from Autobarn or Bunnings which can be easily applied on to fix. Please advise if this is possible?

Many thanks fellas...also, whilst I'm at it...anyone know where I can buy some non-rust bonnet pins? Whether they be flush or the classic-looking ones.

SM

take some closer shots of it

but no, i dont think there arent any carbon fibre "patch" kits - but yes you could roughen the surface adn apply a new layer of the surfboard resin as per the carbon overlay thread in the fabrication section.

Hi mate, thanks for that... I was also thinking of sanding it down lightly and then touching it up with some grey touch-up paint and then apply a clear coat of Resin, what do you think?

take the gtr badge off and ppl may help you

lol

Looks like you purchased it damaged? Fingers crossed that means you scored it for a lower price. Fixing it is probably gonna turn out worse then just leaving it.

Just enjoy the price you got it for, and its probably gonna end up getting cracked again at some stage anyway!

Hahaha...the picture is of the guy that was selling it...not on my car...not my GTR badge ... LOL

I got it at a very good price on ebay off this very nice guy... It was sold at a descent price, however, I still want it fixed... and will try to even if it cracks again...any one that has some knowledge of where to buy CF sheets, please do let me know....

Thanks mate..

      Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
