Cutting carbon

I want to fit some aero catches to my carbon fibre bonnet, but a little nervous! Has any body ever done it? Any tips? Or best left to a pro?

Yes dremmel i used mate, mark and mask. Quite easy actually mate

I have visions of the carbon shattering or something? So it's pretty straight forward then?

Yes mate just take ur time mate. It wont shatter lol just be gentle

As glen says and mask it well stop it chipping

carbon is pretty robust we used to cut it with a plaster cast saw. the gell coat is more likely to get damaged than the carbon weave. but as said a dreamer is ideal. just mask area and make sure you wear a dust mask as carbon dust is quite bad for you.

Ok cheers lads, makes me feel a little better
