    Hey Daniel. The panel is CNC routed carbon fibre. I then printed the text on with a UV flat bed printer. It was tricky getting the printed text to stick to the carbon so I sprayed a clear layer over everything.

    @@3blades476 I noticed your comment on the Byron trip (3 passengers & less fuel) that you didn't need to turn the A/C off. So I guess it's only an issue when fully loaded and you want every kW possible getting you off the ground quickly. I must say I do the same thing in my car for certain hills etc :) as it's the difference between getting up the hill in top gear vs downshifting.
