Carbon Fibre Body Parts

They are used for roofs, bonnets and whole structures in supercars. They are expensive to make and repair. Visible weave finishes are popular. Some cars use carbon fibre only for selected parts to lower the centre of gravity. Damaged carbon parts are often replaced, and inspection may use ultrasound to find delamination. Insurance repairs can be very expensive.

Carbon fibres in resin carry loads with very little weight.

Impact damage may be hidden inside the laminate. Repairs need specialists.
