It took me 5 years to build the car, it will take me a further 5 to make a new tranmission tunnel, i was hoping someone could advise on resin filling
or sumthing?
or else its going to be a stratigically placed sticker.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

might be able to spray laquer over it, and lots of polishing?
think i seen a viseo on youtube somewhere ages ago showing how to cover mirrors and stuff with proper carbon. basically they brushed resin on, laid
the carbon fibre over to stick it down, and instead of the way resin normally makes the top layer in the 'bottom' of the mould, they
sprayed several coats of laquer over the top, as painting resin on would leave brush marks.
might be worth a shot?

You wont be able to fix that to look like nothing has happened, the impact has caused the resin to pull away from the carbon weave :-(
the only thing to do other than replace the whole tunnel is to either paint over it which will hide the carbon, or as said above get some of the stick
on 3M carbon stuff to cover it. The recess for the handbrake may be awkward though

If it's on fully comp insurance, put the policy to use and claim.
If not, strategic sticker until you can buy/build a new one

Buy a cheap FG one (maybe with fake CF) them sell the CF one on ebay. Its pointless CF anyway so doesnt need to be the real thing.

Why dont you add something like a leather padding (arm rest?)
Otherwise, drill it out

Yea, had too put leather cladding on passenger side of dash for iva, he didn't like double sided so I had to silicone it on, I've pulled
it off but the silicone mark has already caused me hrs off sore fingers picking it off, and also still looks crap.
So my 2 most expensive and great looking pieces off body work, look poop.
