i started making fiberglass moulds so here are a few pics
After several coats of this so mould dosent stick to the parts

2 coats of gelcoat on all panels

then 3 layers of matt & resin
wing with 1 coat

bumper and skirts with 3 layers ready to pull moulds (provided the wax worked )
should have wings finished monday night then pull moulds
& make new wings & skirts i am using the bumper supplied but not wings as there is too much bodyfiller & fiberglass in the modded wings

Im no expert in making moulds but not sure if tin foil would be good enough personally i would be make shape of mudguard with polystyrene cover it with skin of bodyfiller then sand any imperfections then make the mould
not sure on using car wax cant see why it wouldnt work but you need to apply a coat of 'release agent' its a blue liquid applied on top of the wax brfore the Gelcoat
