The carbon fibre trim attached to the A-pillars on the front, and the bottom of the rear screen looked tatty.
I didn’t get any photos of the before, but the lacquer had blistered, and it looked in a sorry state.
I did consider replacing it, but knowing how individual these cars can be, I assumed I would likely have fitment issues. Time to have a go at reconditioning carbon fibre trim.
The black Sikaflex sealing these to the screen looked in excellent condition, so I decided to leave them in situ.
The process involved masking the entire car, just leaving the Carbon exposed.
Wet & dry light sand the remaining old lacquer off, and then give it multiple coats of new lacquer.
Very happy with the result.
Your website is great thanks! Have just got myself a Cerb straight 6 1999 so doing lots of similar jobs, will do that trick on the trims. Saw a rear one for £140! So lacquering is the way for me.

thanks Ross. Re-lacquering is definitely the way. 2 years later and mine still look as good as the day I did them. Good luck!
