Hmmm. The order that the photos are dropping into the post isn't as intended. Anyways, I am leaning towards the version shown in the middle picture, with the fixings shown roughly on top of the card.
I have no idea whether this is easy for you to visualise or not, so for clarity: I'll make the cardboard shape out of a sheet of pre-made 3mm or 5mm carbon fibre, I'll drill holes for the fixings and bond these fixings in, then I'll glue the sheet to the top of the bars, then I'll wrap the whole lot, bars, fixings and all in several layers of ~200g/spm carbon fibre cloth and epoxy (ie wet layup). Any holes or gaps I'll fill with an epoxy/chopped carbon mix (for strength). Then I'll sand the whole mess down and repaint matt black. I'll look just like it was meant to be there! (Yeah...)
