I HATE the stock location of the cigarette lighter and plan on doing the relocation. Now I have two questions: 1) Where is that write up located? I hope that I am not crazy, and I hope that it was on this site. 2) Has anyone ever laid carbon fiber? I know about the bagging and vacuuming and baking, but this would just be more of a small cosmetic piece to hold the gauges and not structural by any standards. Thanks. -Matt | | | 07-10-2007, 04:55 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Saint Paul, MN Posts: 3,244 | would that be Ron Stygars VDO guage write up? __________________ My Former Rides 1999 318ti Alpine White, Cali Roof, Dinan goodies 1996 318ti Hellrot California Edition | | | 07-10-2007, 05:02 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Stamford, CT <-> Boston, MA Posts: 1,393 | __________________ BMWCCA #403399 2012 Mini Cooper S Clubman, 6-Speed Loaded 2001 325xi, Winter Package, 5-Speed Traded 1998 318ti, Active, Automatic, TOTAL LOSS R.I.P. 10/20/08 Bilstein Sport Shocks/Struts .
