Belly pan

Post by Bratty »

My belly pan got damaged when I had my little off a couple of months ago and as well as the big scratch two of the brackets snapped, well I've managed to find a company that is selling the fitting kit so a couple of options were to get it carbon wrapped like my hugger, get it re sprayed which is more expensive than the carbon wrap, so while I'm deciding I've ordered the new fitting kit and for now I've done a bit of a cover up.

Think I'd go for the carbon wrap, that hugger looks mint.

Mine needs a bit of a touch up, took mine off for a proper clean today and found this. God knows what happened to it.

Probably scraped it going round some of those bends on the A57!

Carbon wrapping would look good Bratty. Go for it.

I'd go for the carbon wrap too. If it's down low it's never going to get examined too closely anyway.

(f1) for the carbon wrap..

From the photos the hugger looks the great, and doing the bellypan would blend in nicely.

Just to be different I'm going to say Carbon Wrap as the hugger looked mint, better than real carbon if that's possible (blush)

Have you considered vinyl wrapping it yourself? It's easier than you may think.
