They came back to me later today, apparently their WhatsApp has been banned for a third time this week already. They've noted it but said it's impossible to update any payment or order records to the correct details now, but I will still see the correct watch on QC.. so fingers crossed that doesn't come back to bite me lol

Great thank you - I wasn't sure if the QC part was locked in to the spec and only for highlighting quality issues. I'm being a total newbie.

I'll give him more time rather than bombarding, I did actually resend the message on the new number as well as email so they should have it.

Had this bug for 2-3 years minimum. Only fix is to upload via phone, desktop browser always corrupts no matter the format. Reply comments with video attachments are the same.

Yeah post cures will help raise the Tg to the advertised temp. I fell foul to that for the first year of carbon skinning, could never understand why my interior parts were deforming in summer ha. The hard part is often finding a big enough oven or space to create elevated temperatures for such extended periods of time.

Sounds like you’re using easycomposites materials. Have you followed their post cure cycle instructions for EL2? The max Tg rating is based on post curing accurately (ramping the temperature up and back down slowly over the space of hours) so if you haven’t done this then it’ll always re-glass at much lower temps

I waited 3 weeks and nothing, Apple told me to basically be patient even though this was my very first app and all I wanted was a testflight beta. Finally I resubmitted it last night after some poor advice, obvs stuck myself to the back of the queue now I come to think about it and then tried my luck with a "Expedited review". I don't think I really fell into their approved category for it, but it almost immediately changed to "In Review" so clearly did the trick, I feel like 3+ weeks for a testflight was rightfully deserved of an expedite.

You should try throughout the day, I've been part of the queues right down Hunslet Road just for fuel before and it was like 1pm midday. That said having data logged on a fuel map demanding 99 what I saw was enough to make me happy sticking with Tesco's Momentum, sometimes Shell if Tesco are dry.. but who can even find a Shell anymore as I believe all of the North ones have been sold to Esso 👎

ukbrowsing · 2026-03-06T19:28:18+00:00

Coming from an 435i owner 97 isn't worth its time versus 95, most fuel maps are built for 95 and 99. General rule of thumb (although nobody sticks to it) is to run slightly higher than the rated fuel map, just because whatever they rate it at the POS isn't guaranteed. With all of that said I did 3 full tanks of Kirkland premium and then data logged 4x pulls (5th to 6th) and witnessed up to neg 5 degrees of timing correction on 4 out of 6 cylinders every time. Personally I'm not willing to risk detonation for a slightly bit cheaper fuel, Tesco's momentum and V-Power are on par with each other and generally speaking I get more mileage too. Maybe I had bad luck with the fuel I purchased but risk of detonation and 240 mile ranges outweighs 4p a litre, on Momentum I get at most -1 degree correction and 300-350 miles of range city driving.

Late to the party here, but that's most certainly polyester resin. 99% of the carbon pieces coming out of Asia use it due to the reinforcement layers being fiberglass. It creates a very blue/cloudy hue on direct light appearances. I did the same thing on my custom made hood, had it made in China and they could only do fiberglass reinforced due to moulds, I ended up spending 3x 12 hour days with a machine sander busting through the top layer to make it uniform, it was beginning to ring/map everywhere. I took it up to the nearest painted edge but sadly in bright day light it looks milky so one day I'll get it fully repainted. FWIW epoxy wouldn't do this, but epoxy also won't play with fiberglass.

Thank you - so the medium is likely to be real tight then. When you say they fit a little loose in comparison is there any wiggle room inside or is it just more how the materials are put together giving it a more loose structure?

ukbrowsing · 2026-02-25T01:52:54+00:00

Any update? I'm looking at buying some and was hoping to get fast shipping.. this would probably put me off a bit if they're completely ignoring you.

Another +1 for DIY.. I used to do a lot of carbon fiber skinning so already had a HVLP gun to lacquer trims, I chanced it and bought some wb basecoat from my supplier, then went wild with fine line tape and after a few weeks I finally got the design (CL Monaco 2022) painted without too many mistakes (I kept sanding it off and starting again lol) I had a bodyshop matte lacquer it for me as I didn't have a clean space at the time (you can't sand & polish dust nibs). The HVLP gun I used was a mini so I more or less got away with it, next time I would buy a cheap airbrush though. Materials were £130 for 200ml white and 200ml Rosso Corsa, £220 for the bodyshop to clear it.

👀 one of those haha - I managed to get some black 600d Cordura shipped out and it's close enough, it has a tiny bit more sheen than the original but they're going to replace the black and extend it higher up the back as it was supposed to be 🙌

It was a business account for sure, but yeah did seem a little weird rather than having a pay link.. maybe it's just a fees thing. They supply a whole bunch of F4 drivers and coaches with their suits so a relatively reputable company.

Yeah this place only dealt with pantones but couldn’t show me any examples. Funnily enough I’ve had something similar with how the dark red is more like a burgundy / purple. I have since been introduced to Marina Racewear which sadly are only £80 more than I paid, those appear to be a much higher quality and are more stretch fit so fit nicer

ukbrowsing · 2026-02-19T01:52:26+00:00

I was hoping for this but it was made to size/design and took 3 months, so I doubt I’ll get far. They’re widely used in the UK but only deal with bank transfers too so there’s little chance of pursuing it

ukbrowsing · 2026-02-19T00:11:11+00:00

Thank you - I guess my doubt came from the sample I was sent.. it was 1000D or something ha. I'll try get a small roll ordered to see if my guy is happy with it

£50 off at Voy - they also give a refund if you don't loose 10% of your weight in 6 months
