Carbon Trim Panels

[garethcolley]

What method have people used? Im thinking of using rubber nuts. Has anyone bonded them before? They are from performance-trim.

i used black screws on my door cards

I wouldnt bond them on. If you need to get them off, it could be tricky. Get some decent fasteners, anodised bolts or something along those lines. Why have fancy nancy carbon fibre and some wood screws to hold them on lol

mine are drilled and then tapped. dont use big crappy self tappers, and dont rivet them - that looks gash!

[garethcolley]

where did you get those fastners from mate?

[Mike B GTE]

Demon Tweeks mate. not that cheap compares to regular self tappers but worth it.

[Geordie-Chris]

try this place if your after anodised bolts, think there (only) slightly cheaper tham Tweeks!

I drilled holes through my carbon panels to match the original holes in the panel and used standard vauxhall push through clips!:thumb:
