Hi all

Ive bought a carbon fibre spoiler to match the carbon fibre boot. Ive got a template of the underneath all marked out with all the fixings for the spoiler to attach the boot lid. How does one go about drilling holes threw the bootlid without damaging the boot???

Thanks in advance

Lol yep thats for sure mate. Could i use a titanium drill peice like a small one to make the initial hole then slowly make the hole bigger

i cant say i have ever drilled carbon fibre but id drill a small hole first then work your way up.

i would think it may splinter otherwise.

Start small and work up if you aren't too sure and remember to take your time

Is it FRP/Carbon or pure dry carbon?

Cheers mate. Its a genuine carbon fibre boot lid with the clear gel coating on the outside

If you cant see a weave on the underside of it then it'll be fibreglass with carbon on top, to be honest I'd bet its gonna be that a dry carbon bonnet would cost you around 1k easy. Makes it easier for drilling if its a fibreglass mix, once you are through the few layers of carbon the drill will glide through

Soumds like the one mate. You can see the carbon weave on the outside but not from the inside. Guess all i can do is try n hope for the best
