So.... On the track I just don't need big heavy headlights.
But I really don't like the look of missing headlights on a car So here is my compromise.
I don't actually know the weight of the headlights as they stand if someone could let me know.
First I wrapped the Headlight so to make my mould.
Next step to cover the headlight in a base coat for a backing mould. layer of carbon and another base coat
A Second layer of carbon applied.
Final layers of resin
Final product
110 gram's per headlight cap
