First off, can you please try and put your posts together using a language we can understand (English is widely spoken here)? In this World where any info is available at the touch of a key (think spell checker etc) there really is no excuse for not being able to string a few sentences together using capital letters where applicable and correctly spelled words - you will find yourself taken a lot more seriously if you do.
If the guys whose everyday language is not English can manage it then you can.
Make your posts worth reading by using this, some pics and an explanation of what you are doing, you’ll gain more help this way, ie: If you can be bothered, then we might too.
Back to the topic:
Sometimes you have to work backwards…
Try and find out what type of Epoxy resin other guys are using then contact the manufacturers to see if you can get some in the UK.
The one I found was Sicomin, UK outlet here: http://www.sicomin.co.uk/
The guys there are very helpful, any tech enquiries ask for Wiz.
They do some cheap CF, but be warned, the quality isn’t all that - the weave is loose and sometimes has imperfections in it, but it’s ok for projects don’t require perfection of large areas, (small things and practicing etc).
Oh and good luck. 
Thanks Evodelta.
No problem.
What kind of things are you aiming to make?
If they have to be light and strong then as you know Epoxy is the way to go, if they are of a more aesthetic nature or you are practicing then did you know you can get Polyester infusion resin?
Parts are for my pulsar gtir. I will be finishing my mold in a couple of days for a bonnet with out a vent.
The car will be running at TOTB (Ten of the best) fingers crossed, but I would like both aesthetic and strong panels.
I go to TOTB sometimes - depends on the weather as I’m a fair-weather spectator :rolleyes: and don’t live so far away like you, just in the opposite direction (Leeds), hope you make it!
If my memory serves me well a Glanza is a Pulsar and if you do a search on here for Glanza you might be pleasantly surprised, no doubt you’ll also attract the attention of a certain fella from Athens.

A Pulsar is a Nissan Sunny. Apart from it being an import. 2ltr turbo sr20det and 4x4

Best quality I could find.
I’m not a car person, so I’m confused. In that video, why do they run the engine, until it…explodes?? (1:43 and 3:28 )
Safety blow off? Engine fuse? 
The exhaust gasses power the turbo, often there is too much exhaust gas and it is bled off so the turbo doesn’t go too fast (over spin = damage) and produce too much air for the engine.
On this car it is bled off via a ‘screamer pipe’ which vents off the gas via a seperate pipe (than the exhaust) at the front.
What you are seeing is the guy suddenly shutting the throttle at the end of the run which cuts the spark, there is some residual fuel coming into the engine which ignites in the hot exhaust giving the effect you see both front and back.
Hope this explains it ok. 
Pretty much covers it apart from it has hit its rpm threshold via rev limiter.
This is to find peak power, anything above the threshold is unsafe and the limiter stops the engine over revving an the same principle the waste gate stops the turbo over spinning.
