Nice work so far, all the Carbon work mustve taken awhile. Becareful of those doors they are a bit of a pain to get right. mine fell off after 2 days, and the "hinges" that you glue to the top of the door frame can be fragile.
Cant wait to see more!!

Great CF-work. These DTM-beasts make you really work for the result. But in the end itīs all worth it - definately in your case.

The decals don't want to adhere to the seat. Two of them stayed after some microsol, but what i did to the rest was mix a mixture of testors clear glue and water then applied that underneath the rest of them.

You ccan go with microsol alone, but i think some time in the future the decals will come off.

Yes it was sms, but believe it or not i only used the ones for the chasis. So about half of them, because the ones for the doors and other parts were useless. So i had to create my own masks for whole interior and doors. Even on the door sills. When i cut out the masks from sms they just didn;t cover the part, or they would make a noticable seem somewhere noticable. But the ones for the chasis did help, unlike wheel well ones which were a :banghead:
