   What the hell is it i hear you ask?
   
   It an old Carbon rear disc wheel, its what they use in cycling on the velodrome, i got it givin to me, these things cost like £800 new, the hubs fecked and you cant repair them.
   
   Its real carbon and its really quite thin, its quite easy to cut aswell, just thinking if theres anything i can do with it or where to stick bits of it ? Or am i just being silly?
   
   Any ideas?

    seems to be quite concave, so potentially a bit of a pain in the arse...
    
    just do little things, like in the engine bay etc, would be schnazzzay
