It gives the same 2x2 weave look as pre-preg for less money. The trade-off is more resin and a little more weight, and the finish depends more on the maker, which is why we only stock wet-lay parts from brands whose quality we have seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs wet-lay carbon strong enough for a splitter or diffuser?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes for road use. The part is still carbon reinforced and stiff enough for a splitter, skirt or diffuser. If you want the lightest, most rigid option, choose the pre-preg version where the range has one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a 2x2 twill weave?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe weave pattern in the carbon cloth. In a 2x2 twill each strand passes over two and under two, which gives the diagonal pattern BMW use on their own M Performance and M carbon parts. Choosing 2x2 means aftermarket and factory carbon on the same car match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I look after a carbon fibre part?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTreat the lacquer like paint: wash with pH-neutral shampoo, avoid harsh solvents, and wax or seal it. UV is what ages carbon, so a protected finish lasts longer. Forge Automotive can apply paint protection film to any carbon part before fitting, which guards against stone chips and keeps the weave clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this pre-preg carbon?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. This splitter is CFRP (wet-lay carbon fibre). FORM's pre-preg splitters are the T-CSL and Performance Pro.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it need drilling?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. FORM state it fits to the OEM mounting points with pre-applied 3M tape and no extra bolts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FORM Industries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52906103275751,"sku":"FO-BG8XCOFSCF","price":499.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0804\/6601\/8535\/files\/bmw-g80-g81-m3-g82-g83-m4-carbon-fibre-competition-front-splitter-by-form-2021-form-industries-front-lips-splitters-7092141.jpg?v=1792842338","url":"https:\/\/www.forgeautomotive.store\/products\/bmw-g80-g81-m3-and-g82-g83-m4-carbon-fibre-competition-front-splitter-by-form","provider":"Forge Automotive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
