Carbon fibre shell 101 comprises an exterior surface, an interior surface and an internal cavity, at least one layer of carbon fibre; a bonding material within the matrix of the carbon fibre; and at least one layer of lacquer 103 applied to all or a portion of the exterior surface. An additional feature of a flange or skirt 109 of carbon fibre material extending around all or a portion of the circumference of the mouth of the internal cavity. A method comprises laying up at least one layer of carbon fibre in the cavity of a female mould, the mould including a circumferential flange, applying bonding material to the carbon fibre layer, applying pressure, removing the carbon fibre shell from the mould and lacquering part or all of the external surface of the shell. The pressure may be applied by a vacuum bag system. The shell may include at least one layer of wood veneer mounted on the exterior surface, apertures through the shell and fixing means for attachment to a subassembly of a vehicle. The products of the invention are suitable for use in automotive interiors and such as facias, instrument panels and armrests of automobiles.
