Its completely cost prohibitive and impossible one some parts mate, most of it is carbon over lay.
Which is essentially carbon fibre laid over the part for aethstetic purposes of course its adds weight which is kind the reverse purpose of carbon fibre but im not interested in weight loss as im not tracking the car.

some of these interior parts you just couldn't make due to the way the mount in the car, moulding is simple on things like panels or simple parts but all the bits inside the mk5 have a 101 clips and moulded parts that you just couldnt make out of carbon i dont think.
I got a bit of stick on E38 for the fact that it was overlayed and as such adding weight but as i said my goal is looks over performance :happy2:

i 100% get it mate why spend £££££££ for nothing when you know its the look your after not saving weight and as you have no back seats you have saved some weight :grin:
