Here you can see the support for the protection plate.

If you take a closer look you can also see the original plate, which now is onlly the size of de dics brake.The supports is bolt on the same bolts that hold the brake caliper claw.

And this is disk I can slide over it, the one I will use as mold for th carbon kevlar parts.

The whole thing is attached with 5 bolts (size M5).

Here you can see all parts, the boomerang included.

You can also see that the boomerang comes 3cm more forward than the plate itself.

The disc is 1cm smaller than the perimeter of the wheel.

And then I've put 3 extra layers of fibreglass cloth over it to make it extra strong.

Once it all dried up and hardened out, I pulled it off the glass, and this is the result :

I made a carbon version of the boomerangs as well

Here a picture with the carbon kevlar plates, the brake caliper claws still need a paintjob.

On this picture you can see that the rear side of the disc is complete open, so it sits free in the wind.:read::read::read:

The brake caliper claws got their first layer of primer.

And I also made new carbon centercaps for the wheels.

I've sanded the brakes a second time and now they're ready to be painted "Titan Silver".

No need to tell you that is took hours of labour to get them nice and smooth.

And believe me, this will be the last time i've done something like this.

I'm also planning to have the outside of the brakediscs painted alswell.

Conserning the Carbonkevlar discs, i've sprayed another layer on them.

The boomerangs are equiped with a "Beryllium"- logo.

These will be the disks mounted in the center of the wheel.

The brakes are back on the car, everything is mounted again without making any scratches.

Now, the idea us to look which boomerangs give the best match to the complete setup; here a few pics of the complete carbon kevlar setup.

Here you have the black carbon boomerang. Personally, till now, I like this one best. The BERYLLIUM logo has a much nicer contrast on the black background.

Considering the carbon kevlar plates, they certainly aren't overdone (I was a little afraid the opposite might've been the case).

Last week Saturday I already started to make a version of those plates in carbon. I finished 2 of them. I won't spend time on making 2 more, because I already know that I prefer the carbon kevlar look.

Here's the setup with the silver boomerang.

This is my favorite combination.

Soon I'll post pics with the wheels mounted on the car.

I've got some pics with the wheels on the car.:

This is the side with the silver boomerangs, I like this look best.
