Carbon motorcycle front mudguard
A flowing wheel cover with visible carbon weave. A concept exploring the relationship between curved geometry, mounting points and surface finish.

The brief: follow the wheel
The concept is a front wheel cover with a continuous curve and exposed weave. Clearance to the tyre and the location of mounting points would be reviewed against the actual motorcycle. The visual aim combines an uninterrupted surface with carefully resolved edges.
The construction concept
Hand lay-up provides a clear way of presenting work around a curved mould. The scenario begins with geometry and tooling, followed by reinforcement planning. The visible ply establishes the weave direction; the remaining construction must be defined from the real component requirements.
From mould to fitting
Mould preparation precedes reinforcement placement and wetting. After curing, the planned work includes demoulding, trimming and preparation of mounting areas. A fitting check would address clearances, fastener access and neighbouring components.
Surface detail
A satin finish emphasises the weave with restrained reflections. Edges and mounting areas deserve particular attention. A finish sample would help agree the visual direction before making a final part.
Before manufacturing
Actual geometry, movement, interfaces and acceptance criteria must be confirmed. This visualisation presents a styling concept, not engineering documentation or approval for use.

Result
A coherent mudguard concept with separate geometry, lay-up, finishing and fitting stages.
