With the mould taped in place on the outside of the car I put 3 layers of woven cloth inside the wheelarch to strenghten and shape prior to putting cloth on the outside.

This is a view from the outside after I'd placed all the cloth on the inside and waited for the resin to cure. There is peel ply inside the mould to allow for easy removal.
