Carbon Whiskers?

[Ciprian]

Anybody put the Cham ones on the Westfield nose cone ? Photos ?

The difference between the 2 noses is that the Westfield one is curved, leaving a bit of gap at the edges.

I am looking to get them on to cover the old front indicators holes.

I use a carbon beard trimmer, but I don't grow carbon whiskers

hehe, surely somebody had to say something, lol. Yeah, you know, the aero things..

[Norman Verona]

hairy whiskers? Yes, of course.

Yes, I know, carbon whiskers.

you need to watch out when fitting those as I read a guy got so much front end grip at high Speed he had to increase front spring rates as the front end of the car was in danger of bottoming out

oh and I think carbon mods do them too and possibly mickmade

I've got some Carbon Mods whiskers on my car, they don't have a curve either, so I fitted them, then filled the gap with black Sikaflex, and it looks fine.

I've got them - the car came with them on, don't know if they make the slightest difference. I have a bit of a gap, but ain't that fussy

[Ciprian]

That looks good! Im not fitting them for extra grip lol. Only to cover the holes...

As with Adam's, black silkaflex fills the gaps and you don't notice it. I do have 1 bolt into a rubber rivnut in the middle of the whisker though just to make sure it doesn't fall off.

There also very handy for resting your spanners on while working on the front end

Well, they definitely add weight and increase drag... :oops:
